Just on my recollections of the time - I was a classic car fan back then. If you look through classic car magazines from the 1980s, articles written on cars made in the 'seventies are not rare - people wanted to read about them in classic car magazines because they had become classics. Indeed, it is not hard to find magazines where the main article is written on a car or cars from the 'seventies. There are loads of them on Ebay - you can look through the contents on a lot of the listings.

Fair point and QED as the Romans would say

I hope my Mk 2 qualifies for the 'modern classic' category

Absolutely beautiful. A perfect example of a classic Ford.

My Italian posing from the top bunk in September's issue of Classic Cars - Ferrari 250 GTE resto article from the excellent specialists Emblem Sportscars...



Ed, am assuming I can post clip?

Got to love a flat nose the droop snoot looks to busy IMO and no silly spot-lamps either a lovely clean front end

Registered 1992 so not sure if classic or not but almost everyone had one or a mate had one and wrote it off in their youth haha
She is 25 on the 18th August this year <3

Love it, I'd buy one in a heartbeat, younger generations classic for sure.

I reckon the tents more comfortable than the car

Total classic..

I was offered one of these AX GTI's for much cheapness from a workmate who was moving abroad years ago and it drove really well, but I turned it down purely as I need to drive for my job and I preferred to keep my licence! If your a fan of the original hot hatches (who isn't?) this fits the bill perfectly. Minted 80's and 90's cars are the dealers favourites right now. That's just going to appreciate exponentially!

Back in the 1980s, plenty of 'Seventies cars were already being courted as classics.

Really? Willing to be educated but not sure about that. What do you base this on?

Absolutely dbdb; from memory when the pioneering "Classic Cars" magazine came out in 1977 the staffers were running a BMW CSL and a Lotus Elan +2S, both of them had barely been out of production for 4 years.

At the end of MG and Spitfire production in early 80s they were being touted as classics right off the showroom floor, same as the Capri in 1987.

Thanks guys. Had her for 12 years but I've had my fun so she's being sold.

Will miss her a bit

Very much out of interest, what do you think this is worth?

TBH I really don't know. It's not an RS/Mexico etc so won't fetch the serious money that these models can attract. It's running a modified Rover V8/5-speed/LSD so will only appeal to those who want something a bit different, and there's nothing currently comparable or recently sold on eBay. So far, all I've had are time wasters and test pilot wannabes

Yep, absolute classic in my eyes

Whats the value on a Clean AX GTI nowadays would anyone know by chance?

[Navyatco]

My 79 V8 saloon, just detailed.

[TR4man]

That is stunning.

Don't bother paying someone to detail it next time, just give me a call and I'll lick it clean (for free too!)

[Bosshogg76]

Couple of pics of my 67 Cal looker, the top one is in Brussels, the crowd at the bottom are viewing the Manneken Pis, the burble of 48 IDAs got their attention as we went past.



This is just one at the local barbershop
