If you like cars but are becoming increasingly tired of the pace and pressure of modern motoring, then nothing can compare to the relaxing pleasure of driving a classic along a favourite road with the sun shining, the radio belting out an equally memorable golden oldie and feeling good about yourself. As alternative medicine goes, it simply can't be bettered.
Of course, you can't talk about old cars without starting off the age-old debate of just what is a classic car? There's no definite answer to this.. But rest assured you don't need to buy a Ferrari to say you own a classic!
At Classic Cars For Sale magazine we like all types: family cars, sports cars, vintage cars, British classic cars and even vans - because we define a classic as a vehicle that has stood the test of time and is now fondly remembered for putting fun into driving and ownership. In a word it's down to character – lots of it!
And the good news is that 'Classic Cars UK' is doing very well even in these depressed times and this is because canny motorists have realised that apart from providing enormous fun, owning a classic car can also be a shrewd investment for the future or even an heirloom to pass down the family line, as many have done so.
