THE
CLUB If you haven’t already, have you considered joining a classic car owners club? In these pages you will find comprehensive listings of UK clubs, many of which are model specific, and offer an interesting opportunity to find out more about your classic car, as well as introducing you to a whole new set of friends. The passion involved in buying, collecting and restoring classic cars can become all consuming, with many owners utterly dedicated to their craft. Classic cars are beautiful, interesting and rare items to collect, and as the craftsmanship behind their build and manufacture becomes older and rarer, owners clubs are a fantastic resource for any serious owner. Clubs provide a wealth of information about the history of the cars involved, as well as hints and tips on maintenance, common problems and reliable workshops, they can help you to source rare parts, and be excellent places to buy and sell. There is also the social aspect – many clubs hold regular meets and runs, raise funds for charity, offer a variety of levels of involvement, attend major exhibitions and
14
events, and often hold social meets to show off your classic and meet like minded owners. Membership is often annual and is usually very affordable, so check out local and national clubs and see what takes your fancy.

The New Classics Technically, a ‘classic’ is anything 25 years old or more, and while many of us in the know have our fixed ideas about what makes a classic, for the younger generation those 80s hot rods and quirky numbers are often the cars of their childhood and very much worthy for restoration and rebuild. Many classic owners choose a model which reminds them of their childhood, something which rolled off the production line as a dream car which they can now afford to lovingly restore and rebuild. Others have a good old fashioned love of the history and engineering of cars built prior to their own birth, but as time moves forward, we are seeing more and more modern cars becoming coveted classics. Some see those built in the early 1990’s as being perhaps the last era of collectable classics to come; later than this and many marques become too generic with a lot of on board technology which will be too difficult for amateur maintenance.
As true vintage cars become older, along with their owners, keeping our skilled tradespeople in business is paramount, and that means adapting to welcome newer cars into the ranks of our beloved classics is important, if controversial. With owners club memberships dwindling, we need to encourage the next generation to indulge their classic car interest, and if that means classing 70s, 80s and even early 90’s motors in with the traditional stable of classic cars, then so be it. Let’s welcome the young and their hot rods at shows and events, and enjoy the fresh attitudes and new enthusiasm that will entail. For younger owners, this can mean embracing custom classics, and less general worrying about exact restoration. For the twitter loving, MP3 booming generation, custom is king, and maybe, on some of these newer ‘classics’, that is just fine.
Our Top 3 ‘Modern’ Classics
(1)
16
1) Volkswagen Golf GTI Mk2 1984-1991 Of course the 1980s were the decade of the hot hatch, and the Golf GTI Mk2 did not disappoint. There are plenty still on the roads, and their iconic looks, reliability and fun, yet comfortable drive make them an excellent entry level modern classic for a younger collector looking to learn the field. 2) Ford Capri Mk III 1978- 1986 The final incarnation of Fords fabulous 70’s sports car ceased production in 1986, and although it was one of the most popular sporting cars in Britain during production, its ‘high risk’ image means there are far fewer of these on the roads. They tend to be more highly prized and therefore priced. It’s relatively hard to find one as a project, and owners are a
fiercely proud bunch, so there are quite a few on the roads in absolute mint condition. Its huge, sporty front end, moody styling and comfy bucket seats make this a quirky and sociable purchase. Brilliant fun to drive too – and the Eds first car! 3) Subaru Impreza MkI 1992 – 2000 More of a one to watch, this. With a combination of quirky (love it or hate it) looks, solid, durable build and low price, plus Colin McRae’s 1995 WRC performance, it became a favourite with young petrol heads all over the UK. A variety of special editions means these can be fairly limited and quite sought after, but as a restoration project they are an excellent choice for the younger enthusiast, providing a solid frame and reasonably priced parts.

hether your car is a top of the range, brand spanking new beauty, or a more beloved classic, taking care of the interior surfaces is an important part of your car care, which can sometimes be neglected. Thinking about the sort of dirt which vehicle seating and carpeting can attract, there is of course a hygiene aspect to consider.
W
well as appearance, and while the exterior is often simply about safety and durability, the softer surfaces inside are much more susceptible to dirt and damage. Modern materials are of course more dirt repellent, and have been created to stay cleaner for longer, but even luxurious, wipe clean leather will require help to keep it supple, shiny and dirt free.
Trapped food, bacteria and all sorts of nasties can lurk unwanted in your car, so some time spent on your car will obviously be beneficial to your health! Looking after the upholstery properly will prolong its life, maintaining more of the cars value, as well as enhancing your comfort and making the drive feel, and smell, so much nicer.
The first point to remember, obviously, is to take some care. Don’t smoke, eat or drink in the car if you can avoid it, to stop any spillages, smoke pollution or accumulation of sticky residues. Do try to vacuum and wipe down inside regularly; this way you will avoid the build up of sticky dust and grime which so often happens if it is left. Look at specialist products for the fabrics and materials in your car, and use them specifically according to the manufacturer’s
Interiors of course tend to be made for comfort as 18
instructions. Do check that you are using the correct product – modern interiors for example may look like leather but be manufactured from a different material which will not take too kindly to leather treatment. Classic cars often have leather trim which will need careful conservation to keep it supple and fresh smelling. If you have purchased a badly used car, or there has been a spill or damage to your upholstery, these simple tips probably won’t help you. Instead what you really must do is talk to a reputable professional. Particularly bad stains or smells will be almost impossible to clear without their help, and you also run the risk of inflicting more damage on your cars interior by doing the job incorrectly. A professional will be able
to clean thoroughly, efficiently and safely around the cars electrics, and usually will offer a much deeper and long lasting clean which will extend the life of your upholstery and therefore your motor, and mean that in future you simply need to keep up regular maintenance to keep the car looking good and smelling sweet.

“ Like any collectable, values can fluctuate wildly based on scarcity, popularity, ease of maintenance and more “ 20
Selling your Classic Car?
We often focus in the directory on tips for buying a classic car, forgetting of course that at some point you are likely to be selling that same car. Unlike the modern car world, selling is a delicate area which needs consideration to make sure you get a good price and your car goes to a good new home! No matter how close to your heart you hold your classic, many owners only have both the time and space for a finite number of classics, and if a new project is beckoning, it may be time to sell an existing car to a new owner with more time to care for it. Sometimes classics are sold because the restoration has become too much to handle, or purely for financial reasons; but for most the sale is likely to be rather emotional, particularly if you have done much of the back breaking and intricate restoration work yourself. There are a variety of things to consider:
Valuation Like any collectable, values can fluctuate wildly based on scarcity, popularity, ease of maintenance and more. Online research will give a practical idea of a rough asking price for similar age and condition models, as are magazines and dealerships. Do realise that asking price and actual sale price are often quite different; rather like house prices, in order to allow for some negotiation. It is worth calling in a valuations expert to give you an idea of what the car is worth. Be prepared that if you have self restored, the final valuation may not measure up to your expectations; particularly if you have spent considerable time and money in the restoration process.
Preparation Like any sale, you will need to put some preparation into the car before you start seeing prospective buyers to ensure it is looking and running at it’s best, thus getting you the best possible value. Hopefully; it will already be in good condition, but if you are selling an unfinished project, or indeed one which was finished some time ago, then making sure the car looks at its best will get you better offers and mean those who look will be more likely to buy. A good clean and polish will help, whatever the car’s condition, and tidying up the interior and giving the trim a go over is also a good start. Be thorough, and don’t forget areas like wheel arches and mud flaps, as these will be a good indication to your buyers as to the condition you have kept the car in. Any car is probably going to be more sale worthy with a long MOT, and an oil change etc is also a good idea to give potential purchasers more value for their money. Don’t forget to make sure all your paperwork is in order.
How to sell You may trade the car in, commission a dealer to sell it for you, or you may prefer to offer it for a private sale. There is also the option of auction, but as many who attend these are looking for a real bargain, this may not get you the price you are looking for; and will also be subject to a commission for the auctioneer. On the other hand, this will offer you the option of having the legwork done for you, and they will likely advertise the car for you, saving you costs on advertising as well. If you decide to advertise privately, good photographs are essential. With digital photography, anyone can take reasonable photos, but remember to ensure the car is looking its best, taken in good natural light, with a sensible back drop which gives the right impression. There are a huge plethora of specialist publications and websites to look through, as well as more general publications. Charges for advertising vary, so do your research and check the audience and circulation to compare with the rates. There is also a lot to be said for online auction sites, which can be daunting but definitely worth looking. There are guidelines to be aware of, and fees may vary; EBay for example vary fees according to starting and final price, so read the small print to check what your sale will cost you. For a first time seller, it is absolutely worth speaking to a professional dealer or auctioneer, as the costs involved may well far outweigh the hassle of arranging the sale yourself, and will avoid any legal pitfalls. If you are selling privately, then there will be a question of viewings and negotiation. Be safe with your home address, but remember that potential buyers may feel more secure seeing the cars natural environment and your home rather than a neutral space. Be honest about the car’s faults, but emphasise its good points, and remember that like any sale, you don’t have to go into every single tiny detail, as this much attention may put the buyer off. If you have records of any restoration work, servicing and parts purchases, now is a good time to bring them out. Remember to check the buyers insurance if they want to take the car for a test drive, and of course, go with them! If you are prepared to negotiate, you will likely get more offers. Price honestly to get the interest, and decide in advance on your bottom line. Cash buyers will always try to bargain hard, so make sure that while you are realistic, you keep to your minimum.

AUTOMOBILIA Do you know what a velologist collects? We didn’t, until the scrappage of the paper tax disc bought to light a whole new side of automobilia for us. Before you hurry to get your October 2014 disc on eBay, bear in mind that the big prices are for rare and much more elderly discs. Those which are still in their perforated sheet command better prices, as are those with recognisable perforation edging or margins. Automobilia as a whole is becoming very collectable indeed, with prices increasing significantly. As an investment, it is hard to go wrong as these become increasingly rare and hard to find, which keeps prices buoyant. It is a fascinating hobby, preserving vast parts of motoring heritage with many sub genres depending on your interests. Most people end up collecting a particular field, or items corresponding to their favourite marque – as with any collectable, value is directly linked to desirability and rarity. Books, brochures, handbooks and others are popular items, possibly simply because they can be pored over and are very useful for research purposes, as well as entertaining at times. Advertising posters and indeed magazines with advertising in are also highly sought after. Accessories are also hard to beat. From collectibles such as key rings, cufflinks, ashtrays and glassware, many manufacturers have long made and sold lots of interesting ephemera which is often small and easy to store properly, as well as being interesting and pleasant on the eye.
22
Toy cars and models are a large subsection of the field, from little diecast toys by Matchbox or Dinky (these can be quite rare and valuable now, as most were used as toys and few survived to model kits and more. Some collectors concentrate on ever more specialised fields, from spark plugs to tin signs or scrapped number plates.

If you are looking for replacement glass for your restoration project or need to replace a broken screen to get your pride and joy back out on the road, we have you covered. Many owners have approached us over the years searching for a screen for a rare vehicle, or a special bodied ‘one off ’ project. With a range of over 4,000 parts its likely we have the tools already, but if we don’t, we can remanufacture tools using your old glass as a template. We also have many different screens to suit different coach-built vehicles for Ferrari, Rolls Royce, Bentley & more…

Commercial and Agricultural Classics Over recent years we have seen quite an increase in interest in a field which is fast losing its status as a minor hobby for a select few special interest collectors – commercial and agricultural vehicles. It has always been a fairly niche hobby for a variety of factors – the most obvious being the fact that owning a classic commercial or agricultural vehicle is a less suitable hobby for many collectors who don’t have the space to keep one nor the opportunity to use such a vehicle. Not only this, but in the case of light commercial vehicles, small trucks and vans, corporate use has meant that not many have made it in restorable condition. Whether they have undertaken ‘dirty’ jobs or simply covered incredibly high mileage, many simply haven’t 62
survived. The sheer scale of these vehicles can make restoration a daunting proposition, and the fact that tractors and farm engines have usually been used on farms and the like until they are literally dead, often being repaired with all manner of bizarre materials over the years, makes the task even bigger. The expertise is also hard to come by – while many, many owners spent years tinkering with their motorcars, larger vehicles, steam engines and so on tend to require a lot of specialist knowledge and understanding. Add to that the fact that you don’t tend to drive past a tractor scrap yard or steam engine breakers very often means parts and components can be very scarce. A browse online reveals however that there is actually a
great deal of interest in the subject matter. There are several websites devoted to steam engines, the history of and current examples, e.g. www.steam-up.co.uk. There are corporate and agricultural vehicle manufacturers who have huge fan bases with photos of lovingly restored vehicles and stories of restoration for example the AEC Society who celebrate the firms building of London Buses from the beginning of the 20th century to 1979, and lots more besides. There are usually some excellent examples of commercial vehicles at the International Classic Motor Show at the NEC, from beautifully restored AA recovery vehicles to forces models. For more focussed event, try the Classic Commercial Show Donington possibly – see www.truckinglive.co.uk for more information on this and its sister show, Trucking Live. Also notable is the Great Dorset Steam Fair (www.gdsf.co.uk) which is a mix of national heritage, classic vehicles, music, rural demonstrations and family events. The show attracts more than 200,000 visitors annually and is a huge draw for
enthusiasts and families alike, so anyone interested in running or restoring a vintage vehicle that was once commercial or agricultural should go along and find out more. Last but most certainly not least is the Historic Commercial Vehicles Club who are the largest official organisation for enthusiast in historic vans, lorries, buses, military and steam vehicles and hold events and rallies such as the annual London to Brighton Run in May and the Tans Pennine Run in August where members and guests can see one of the greatest historic commercial displays in the world. There is also a forum, advice, and much more to be found on their website. www.hcvs.co.uk
