The Levenshulme lock up.

The Irlam store.
We took the frame of GXT to one of the Greenham Common airshows and had great fun with the spotters wanting to know its registration, especially after the organisers left it off the published list.

That looks like a Stirling front turret !!!

You might ask the writers at Classic and Sports Car.

As the owner of a couple of classic cars I’d say that with careful selection (i.e. the amount of motorway driving, the amount of miles you’ll do each month, and similar practical but often overlooked factors) a “classic” can be a practical daily car.

But only if you can work on it yourself…and that means having MORE than a Haynes and a spanner.

For years, I drove a 20 year old Jeep as my work car.
I accepted its limitations…but I was lucky, it was freshly restored and my best friend was a Jeep specialist. And I had a second car to use when the Jeep was impractical (it was no sports car, had a radio you couldn’t hear over the tyres, engine and wind and a heater that wasn’t up to a fabric topped vehicle) or out of order.

And remember, moderns have it all over classics in areas like comfort, brakes, and safety features.

My ` Daily Hack` is a 1987 Nissan Micra which cost me £100 (with spare engine) 4 years ago….wonder if it will qualify for `classic` insurance?…it`s quite possibly the most economic and reliable car I`ve ever had.
