The classic
cars you will find on this site were made
in Great Britain from the early 1950's (although some
will have had their debut at the 1948
Earls Court Motor show), to the
early 1980's - a period which encapsulates the real
heyday of British car manufacture. This was a time when
Britain was a world leader in car design, and a time
when car ownership was readily becoming accessible to
all. It was a period when cars had real individuality
and character, aesthetics sat comfortably ahead
of ergonomics, and great motoring icons such as the
E Type Jaguar were born.
Very sadly most
of these British manufacturers have now long gone, but
fortunately many of the cars still survive, and are still
driven on an everyday basis, just as they were meant
to be when they first rolled off the production line. On
this website you will be able see
at-a-glance vehicle specifications, performance data and
photos. There are also relevant links to owners
clubs (and sometimes parts suppliers) for most
cars featured on their respective pages. In the directory you will find comprehensive
listings of British classic car owners clubs, parts
suppliers and links to other interseting classic car
websites. It is my intention to add
more manufacturers and vehicle ranges to this website as time goes on,
so if there is a particular classic car you would like to see
here please e-mail me with the
details. I would like
to feature your own classic vehicles (currently or previously
in your ownership)on the gallery page, along with
any interesting stories you may have about them. You can also post or read messages in the classic
car forums - for example you may want
to trace previous owners of your classic car, see where a classic
car you once owned is now, read about forthcoming classic car events, or perhaps try and locate
parts for your classic car. You can also visit the chat
rooms for live chat messaging with others who share
your interest of British classic cars. Whether you own a classic car
or not why not come in and revisit the halcyon
days of Great British Classic Cars.
