Our goal is to make a concise guide to every car which is older than 25 years old. This is because it is regarded as a classic. Cars from all countries will be included from American Muscle to Japanese Imports. We also aim to provide a concise guide of manufacturers badges through the ages and a guide to films in which the cars on the wiki showcase in among a few other things.

Why we like Classic Cars
We like classic cars as they are the cars we used to drive in when we first passed our driving test and cars which our parent's had when we were kids. They are also very different to the cars on the road today.
At the turn of the century, most cars on the road were either electric or steam driven. The Internal Combustion Engine was a relatively new concept. It was only the outbreak of the two world wars that really pushed the automotive industry along. The engines were needed for aircraft and the military needed vehicles to ferry their men around. Some cars were mass produced before the First World War such as the Ford Model T, but most were only available to the rich that could afford them.
After the Second World War, the car industry in took off producing cheaper cars in vast numbers. Most of these early cars can still be seen today. They are a lot harder to find than say a car that is 40 years old or so but there are still quite a lot of them driving around.
Classic cars are rarer than modern cars but have more passion and soul. This is because many of them were hand made and have been carefully looked after or restored by their owners. They don't all look the same as manufacturers experimented with hundreds of body styles to make their models stand out.
We love classic cars as they are part of our heritage and because they are better than their modern counterparts!
