In my time here at Classic Car Buyer I’ve been lucky enough to report on a number of my ‘dream drives’; the Aston Martin DB7, Austin-Healey 3000 and the pre-Sting Ray Chevrolet Corvette. However, one of the most important things I’ve learnt is that a classic car’s value isn’t always in line with the joy you experience behind the steering wheel – and that just because one car is more expensive than another, it isn’t necessarily any more enjoyable to drive. Back to this issue though and with everything from a comprehensive buying guide for Rover P6 saloons to expert tips on modifying the MG Midget, I hope you enjoy what we hope is an interesting and varied read.
