* What constitutes a classic car * Why buy a classic car - sum up their appeal but also highlights costly problems. * What to look for when buying a car - (i.e. practicalities, type of driving - city/country/distance, reliability and safety, budget etc) * What to avoid when buying cars e.g. common problems with all models, words which hint at problems - any places which should be treated with caution e.g. must see cars in the light, must take for test drives Motoring journalist, David Long, turns his expertise into a must-buy read for anyone who dreams of owning a classic car - even if they'll never buy one but just wants to know more about this ever-popular topic. David discusses the pros and cons of 50 of the best and most popular classic cars in an accessible but informative fashion with all budgets covered from the Alfa Romeo Alfasud (£1.000+) to costly dream cars such as the Dino 246 GT.
