Cash in with Cool Classic Cars
While modern cars may have their onboard computers, integral SatNavs, low C02 emissions and fuel efficiency by the tank full, making driving as safe and comfortable as possible, they still can't rival the sheer high-octane experience and top-down thrills of getting behind the wheel of a classic car.
And, yes, advanced aerodynamics may make bodyworks cut through resistance with ease, but when it comes to good looks, a classic beats the contemporary counterparts throttle down. Perhaps it's that mix of infectious raffishness that instantly turns classic drivers into playboys (and girls) while they sit in those leather-skinned bucket seats. Or maybe it's the defiant snarl of horsepower that instantly sparks our latent desires to escape from time to time.
Whatever it is, classic cars are fuelled on cool. Whether you love them as visual spectacles or for putting the fun back into driving, we've pulled together some of our coolest classics to get your pistons pumping. Sit back and enjoy the ride…
