| 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 contact 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, find answers to technical
problems, 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. Whether you own a classic car or not why not
come in and revisit the halcyon days of Great British Classic Cars.
