Style – A genuine classic can’t have an off-the-shelf design.We hope you find the sweets you were looking for that will really bring those child hood memories flooding back.There have been so many different models over the years, what does it take to make a car a classic? Is it a set criteria that a car must follow, or something more intangible? We took a look at some of the most popular vintage cars on the market to see what ingredients go into a bonafide classic: Our value for money is second to none and we offer a minimal £3.50 delivery charge on all orders. Character – It’s not just about looks.Something that was completely different to other cars on the market when it made its debut. The whole package has to have a bit of personality to it. Rarity – You can’t be seeing a genuine all-time classic on the road every day.Something that makes you take a second look at it.

It can’t be described in words, you just know it when you see it. So now we’ve sorted out our criteria, let’s begin our rundown of the top ten British classic cars of all time. We’ve chosen our ten favourites, with a limit of one per car company. The story of the Aston Martin DB5 is always going to be tied to that other icon of British culture – James Bond. But the story would have been very different if Aston Martin had got their way. When production started on the third film in the Bond franchise, Goldfinger, the producers were seeking a British car to be fitted out with the gadgets that would become a staple of the franchise. ![]() The Aston Martin DB5 was an obvious choice, especially as Bond had driven one in the novels. ![]() But Aston Martin were reluctant to have their brand associated with the films.įinally convinced to do a product placement deal, the car featured in one of the most iconic Bond moments in the series’ history.ĭemand for the car rose significantly after the film’s premiere, with many seeking to drive the same car as the super-suave secret agent. The success of this partnership was the beginning of a long history of product placement in Bond films, with car companies battling each other to have theirs as Bond’s car of choice.īut the Aston Martin DB5 will always be the car that helped turn the Bond films into the incredible film franchise it is today. Image source: there’s a man who knows cars, it’s Enzo Ferrari, founder of the eponymous car company that has produced many of the most beautiful, desirable classic cars of all time. He was also a proud man, quick to boast about his products and show his disdain for cars from other companies. So for Enzo Ferrari to describe a car, a British car, as anything other than ordinary, would be almost unthinkable. “The most beautiful car ever made.” That was Enzo’s reaction after he first saw the Jaguar E-type. That should give you an idea of just how special this car is. When the E-type first appeared on the scene, it was like something out of a science fiction film. The designer, Malcolm Sayer, came from an aeronautics background, which really shows in the striking, almost aggressive appearance. Its long, sleek, aerodynamic curves, with a curved bonnet that takes up half of the car’s body, it revolutionised car design the instant it appeared on the market. Gone was the need for function over form. ![]()
