Book excerpt: The great thing about the classic car is that you don’t have to be a millionaire to join the club! You will recognise many of the cars featured in this book and you may even remember your parents or grandparents driving one from your childhood, that will invoke happy memories. There is no concrete classification for what constitutes a classic car but for many people it refers to a vehicle that harks back to a bygone age, which as a result means there are fewer specimens on the road. In addition some more up-to-date models are now being categorised as modern classics. This is a collection of some of some of the best classics around with informative backgrounds on their design and manufacture. From Aston Martin to Volkswagen, from family car to supercar, classic cars come in all shapes and sizes, so join us on this trip exploring some of the finest cars ever made.
