Sports cars, luxury cars, hot hatches, roadsters – they’re all cars we associate with the genre that is classic cars. They all have a quality, a spirit if you will that keeps the interest burning for years and years. That’s why we have so many MGBs, Healeys, TVRs and RS2000s. The executive car, however, is […]

The term ‘barn find’ is one that seems to be banded about far too willingly. People on eBay stating their 2002 Mondeo with MOT is a ‘barn find’ because it’s been under the carport for six months. You know exactly the kind of thing we’re talking about. In fact, if there were as many barns […]
