I could probably insure it for reasonable money on a limited usage policy.

Not really a classic but I’ve just had a quote on a Porsche Boxster for less than £400. Question is, can I get 2 labradors and a bike into it

Probably, but the RSPCA might have something to say about it 😉

couple more to add to the list, Honda CRX the early ones, Alfa Brera…

Proper classics need to have a Rally pedigree. Otherwise they are just old cars or nice old cars. IMNSHO

Quite interested to hear why you think that?

They have then , in some degree ‘proved’ themselves. Otherwise some old codger who drove is Marina 2 miles to church on a Sunday then spent the rest of the day maintaining it would have a classic on his hands. Well, not really but you know what I mean.

I think classic, should mean a bit more than old.

Well read Jimjam’s post. Sums it up perfectly.

guy up the road from me has one of these with the reg something like UFO 53

That might be the guy who writes for Evo magazine. He has a Pagani Zonda with the number plate UFO (then some numbers) and he did a write up on that Honda as he also has one……amongst about 15 other cars ranging from little Lotus Elan up to afore mentioned Zonda

Why not include the toyota corolla in your list? or the Ford Fiesta, or the Honda civic?

Darn it, I was just about to add my 2p, the EK9 Honda Civic Type R …a jewel of a car.

my first car will always be a classic:

I have the more exotic 3 door, but i like what they have done with this one…

Bobba, that’s Harry Metcalfe, don’t think it’s his Honda though. He doesn’t write for Evo anymore he still owns the magazine but now writes for the Sunday Times intrestingly enough on what supercars will become classics. My missus knows him somehow, never been offered a ride in the Zonda though.

Ps, OT how’s the diet going?

So… what criteria would others use for classic status?

Neil,how can you say you quite like a car that seems to have something similar to a boxed pool table attatched under the front bumper?

That may be a grass cutting attatchment.

Proper Mini not the the BMW Bini crap. End of.
