Most classic cars do not come with anti-theft devices already fitted, so can be vulnerable to being stolen. The good news is that your average classic car is not considered a good target by most car thieves. Generally, car thieves want a car that can be easily broken down into parts or sold on. The market for classic cars and their parts is relatively limited, making them less attractive to thieves. However, you should still protect your vehicle.

Scrapping a car is not as simple as it used to be, but it still need not cost you any money to do it just a bit of time. The law is such that leaving a car in the street to rot is something that, thankfully, rarely happens these days.

Which car to buy for restoration is a big decision. There are many things you need to consider, but the first question you need to ask yourself is how much money and time can I afford to spend restoring a car. When you have an unlimited amount of money to spend, then you can just buy the car you like the most. When money is tight, you have to be much more careful in your choice. Look for a car that is more common, for which parts are easily available and for a car that needs a minimal amount of work.

Maintaining your tyres is critical for the safety of you, your family and other road users. Badly maintained tyres adversely affect your ability to handle your car properly in an emergency or high-speed situation. Worn or wrongly inflated tyres are a factor in 20% of all accidents.

Sure they do. Car auctions sell all types of cars, from luxurious vehicle to total junk cars. They don’t say in vain that someone’s junk is other’s treasure. Some people buy defected cars, cars that took part in driving accidents or old cars that are beyond repair and they use them for spare parts or transform them altogether into new and exciting driving temptations. Others simply don’t have a lot of money and want a car for driving around, and can’t afford more than a damaged car.
