. . . . . Instead of being 25 years behind the times it's now only about 10 years behind the times . . . . .

Other than the limitations on number of images I think it’s fine - not flashy but it works. And it doesn’t seem to be swamped with scam ads either as per eBay.

I am a Big fan of Car and Classic. It changed hands a couple of years ago and I preferred it back then. Too many pop up type adverts now and the 5 photo limit is annoying.

I found my Late Dads Ghibli on there in December 18, in Austria. However it’s Way over priced and was still with the Trader last time I looked.

But Flea Bay gets Way more viewers.

It’s simple and it works, I have sold all of my cars via the site since the day the site began. Never had a problem and it’s not cost me a dime. The site refresh is OK.

I quite like the updated site - in particular the notifications option, which allows me to hear as soon as I car I'd love to own but can't possibly ever hope to, gets advertised.

Ebay certainly gets more hits, but C&C gets buyer who know what they want - better 1 interested buyer who knows their stuff than 250 tyre kickers...

I've never had any problems with it, have bought and sold cars using it and have no complaints, I think the revamp is ok, it doesn't need to be spectacular, just easily usable.

Been on it for a while this afternoon perusing American iron from the '60s and '70s..... it'll end it tears but ce la vie!

I've not yet bought anything via that site but it is a favourite for browsing. Safer than ebay when I've had a drink.

Have to admit it's safer than ebay . . even if you're stone cold sober.

Hmmm... I should've read what I wrote. £380 spent on ebay last night on something I don't need!

I've noticed that a certain dealer, one whom carry a large variety of stock in an abandoned multi storey, ahem, have started advertising on the site.

Things must be tough as I can't recall them ever putting all their stock on there - it's not just the rare classics. I can't imagine they've just discovered the site?

Oh, and it's annoying to have to scroll past all their dross to search for other ads.
