Classic car, truck, bus etc site links
If like me you are a classic car enthusiast, you'll have found some interesting old car related websites. In this corner of oldclassiccar, I hope to
add links to certain websites which I've made a note of over the last few years, largely because their content is usually
interesting, well laid out, and a bit different. Not only classic car websites have made it on to this page however, probably
because I'm interested in not just old cars but also old aircraft, trailers, caravans, scrapyards, bicycles, lawnmowers, memorabilia, pedal cars and other equally vintage
machinery, there will be a cross section of subjects covered which will hopefully appeal to old car nuts just like me.
Add URL Do you have an old-car website? get a free link to it from one (or more) of the classic car parts classifieds pages, just visit the relevant make/model page (classifieds main page click here) and click the Add a Link button on the left.

| Barry scrapyard |
Ok ok not old car related, but still worth a look - an amazing selection of photographs taken at this Welsh steam engine scrapyard in May 1966. Many of the locomotives pictured went on to be preserved and restored to use after years of dereliction, as a fan of riding on old steam locos I'm glad this place existed! Back in '66 there were over 170 locos present, most of which were ex- Western Region, although Southern and Midland types were also well represented. Chooo chooo |
