Elsewhere on oldclassiccar are thoughts on how to choose a classic car, and what type of car might be most suitable for you. For many people the reasons for running an old car include that of driving something a little bit unusual, and stand out from the masses, as they zip from A to B in their faceless modern tinboxes, turning a blind eye to the crippling depreciation in value that blights most modern cars.
Throughout the classic car movement are some old favourites that turn up on a regular basis, vehicles chosen perhaps because of an excellent spares
backup, or ones that enjoy the support of an active owner's club. Many of these cars also enjoyed a lengthy production run, which goes a long way in ensuring that a good number survive into preservation. This in turn encourages specialist suppliers to maintain stocks of parts to keep these old motors on the road. This corner of oldclassiccar will feature a number of these popular classics, and give a brief history and background to these vehicles. Also included will be details of where more information on these particular cars can be found, and some leads on where parts to fit these cars can be sourced.
If you'd like to pen a few words to make the case for a particular popular classic that you're a fan of, please feel free to drop me a line and I'll get it added in. I'm especially keen to hear about cars that are popular outside of the UK, such as in Canada, Australia, the USA, and across Europe. What particular model(s) have a huge following in these countries? I'd be very interested to hear from overseas visitors to oldclassiccar about this!
Cars will be added to this section over the coming weeks, so please have a look in again soon.
