All you need to know about owning a classic car but were afraid to ask.

The classic car market has remained buoyant throughout the ups and downs of the motoring industry and apart from the emotional and pleasurable aspect of classic car ownership, it usually makes sound financial sense as well. An increasing number of enthusiasts see that owning a classic car is having your cake and eating it. Yet, despite this, there's no book for the 'classic car virgin' who has many questions to ask but can't find the answers in one specific place - until now! Alan Anderson has been editor of Classic Motoring and Classic Cars For Sale for almost 20 years and has seen many changes to the market and buyers' attitudes in that time. This book is the definitive guide to buying, owning and enjoying a classic car, covering buying, selling, driving, maintenance, what to carry, safety, how to compete in classic motorsport plus examines the top 100 best classic cars to buy and why.

AUTHOR: Alan Anderson was a launch journalist on Fast Car before swapping to leading motor trade titles at Haymarket Publishing where he launched Fast & Workshop. He went freelance in 1995 and worked on all the UK's major titles, contributed to The Sunday Times, and was awarded Consumer Journalist of the Year by the Guild of Motoring Writers in 1998. He switched to the classic cars market in 2002, editing several titles including some 30 bookazine spin-offs and writing The Complete Book of the Car.
