Is There A Sudden Fad for Classic Cars Amongst The Membership?

Might just be a sentimental yearning for a byegone era that was simpler in every way.

Don't see the relevance in the date, though, TBH.

Seeing that pic of a Lancia Montecarlo yesterday was brilliant...the more the merrier!

I've always liked looking at them but wouldn't fancy owning one.

I bet it's horrible to drive; the Viva wasn't a great drive anyway but with the roof chopped off and - presumably - extra reinforcements welded into the floorpan it must be awful. I once drove a Golf convertible and it felt like driving a shoebox on wheels, dead, heavy and lumpy.

But excellent visibility. I recently sat in the back of a new car and felt imprisoned by the high, small windows and low roof.

I can help with that - I've had no alerts for 6 months and then 5 in one day on a post I made nearly 3 years ago

Might as well throw my hat in the ring and show the classic car I'd love to have.

The thread was bouncing around yesterday so he's probably pointing out when he first posted it 2 1/2 years ago & wondered why it had suddenly re-appeared

It's probably been rolled.

I used to think that I'd like buy my old VW Beetle back and do it up... but then again, it was slow, inefficient, rusted into holes and caused me to have a permanent threshold shift in my hearing... so perhaps not!

Must admit that I loved this car, too, when I started to watch The Saint.

Yeah well one of these is slow, gas guzzling and (a bit) noisy and the other isn't
