If you need to ask, do you really want one?

This is my attitude. Classics require a specific mindset, and a love for a car which transcends value. If you have nothing tugging at your heartstrings before you start, then don't buy one.

OP you need to be a bit more succinct in what you're after. I would start off with what you're going to use if for or at least how does it fit alongside the other cars in your stable.

OP, please come back with some more criteria, what period? 60's? 70's?
Your profile suggests you like some grunt.
For the 1960's, what about a Daimler SP250? Should get a cracking example for 50k.
Lotus Esprit S1?
Jensen Interceptor?
Marcos V8 of some sort?
