I've been driving classic cars for years. My first was a hot rodded '74 Manta. After that a '76 Mustang II hatchback. I recently sold that one and I'm now working on a '79 Mustang Cobra V8 that needs a little TLC.

This pic is a couple of weeks old. Most of the tech work is done already. After this pic I cleaned, polished and waxed the body and gave the window moldings a new coat of paint. That all needs to be done a second time for the best result.



It still needs a new bumper cover and some paint touch ups here and there.

I have never been an owner, but absolutely loved the TR6 my brother once had.  That was one growling beast !   8)

Mine was a metallic light blue fiesta with a black vinyl roof (ripped). My Dad bought it from some Indian guy he got chatting to in an insurance shop. The car reeked of curry. It was sold before I even passed my driving test. Next car was a Maestro   :(

I had a snot green 1.2 vauxhall nova saloon. Actually it ruled and is still the favourite car I owned.

Not exactly a classic but I'm very attached to my 1993 Merc 190E daily driver...

When you´re racing, it's life. Anything that happens before or after is just pies.

My Beemer is a classic, so is your Merc.  I keep telling people who have less than a grand to spend on a car to get one of those two, but no one believes me...... suckers  :lol:

I have a classic Mini in Pageant Blue (a 70's colour), 1275 engine with a ported and gas-flowed head, Maniflow exhaust and original Minilites if any of that means anything to anyone! It's awesome though; loves roundabouts!
I'll see if I can find a pic!  8)

I love mini's.  I had an A Series head floating around the shed until recently.  Pic would be good.
