A Proud Owner Of Classic Antique Cars

If your ride interests lie in a Street-rod, Muscle Car, Street Machine, Antique Car or a Classic Car, you have come to the right place.

We will take you on a whirlwind tour of classic antique cars. Probably the most discussed question raised by people with a newfound interest in older cars, is ‘What are classic antique cars?’. Finding an answer to this question ranks with establishing the meaning of life (well almost), as there can be no other debate likely to raise the hackles of one group of enthusiasts or another.

Older cars can be grouped more or less by the year they were made, such as with vintage and veteran cars for instance, vintage cars (as defined by the Vintage Sports Car Club I think) are anything built pre-1930. A car built between 1930 and WW2 (World War II) is generally classed as being a Post Vintage Thoroughbred, quite a grand moniker for many cars that fall into this group, which at the time were less than grand.

After this time, things get significantly less clear, with the term ‘classic car’ being applied by various quarters to any car from the 1940s right through (in some cases) to the 1980s. If you are looking for antique classic cars for sale, then an alternative idea may be to buy a magazine devoted to classic antique cars.

Or you could also look at online classified advertisements (http://www.greatoldcars.com/) for antique classic cars. Even insurance companies which specialize in older cars are now taking on board the fact that as many classic antique cars now attract a strong following (witness the Pug GTi and MR2s again).

If you’re looking to buy a classic antique car, but not quite sure how to go about it, make sure you do your homework before plowing through the classic car adverts, so that you minimize the chances of buying a lemon.
