Classic and Collector Car News, Features and Interviews.
We are kicking off our first Market Feature of 2016 with a nice little entry level classic. With classic car prices at an all time high, it is becoming much harder for the enthusiast on a budget to find a nice cheap classic. Which is why we have picked a 1981 Honda Civic. The first generation Honda Civic was launched in 1972 and arrived at just the right time for…

Back in September we featured a stunning 1969 Fiat 2300 that was presented in original condition (read our feature article here). Seeing such a wonderful example of Ghia’s coach building skills reminded us that back in the day, Fiat were just as good at building luxury GT cars as they were at compact and frugal runabouts. Despite the attractive package, the 2300 coupe never sold in large numbers… the curse…
The Ford Consul Capri was launched in 1961 and was the first European market Ford to bear the Capri name. Designed by Charles Thompson, the 2 door pillarless coupe was based on the Ford Consul Classic saloon. It’s design took cues from the Ford Galaxie and Ford Thunderbird and was an attempt to bring American style and flair to the UK market. The compact and stylish coupe debuted with a…

A couple of weeks ago we spent some time at Classics Central Auctioneers 8th November sale at Bedford Autodrome in the heart of Bedfordshire. Company owner, classic car enthusiast and serial classic car collector Justin Lazic kindly invited us to attend both the viewing day and the auction itself. While there we had the opportunity to interview Justin and find out what Classics Central is all about. Watch our interview…
Classic micro cars have had a bit of a resurgence in the past few years, helped no doubt by their quirky character and rarity. One such micro car that has captured collectors attention for some time is the FMR KR200. We actually featured one back in March this year (see more on that feature here). However there is one micro car from the same family of the Messerschmitt KR200 that…
It’s been a while since we posted a Market Pick thanks to being busy with classic car show features recently and our drive in a Corvette C6. So it is good to be back with some interesting car picks. And the one we’ve chosen for today’s post is as rare as hens teeth. Opel cars are a rare sight on UK roads thanks to the existence of Vauxhall. Both are…
