\u201cOoh \u2013 Please take me for a spin around the block, Steve,\u201d squealed Liisa, our friend and host for the evening. Steve had arrived at Liisa and Mark\u2019s house in his classic \u201964 Sunbeam Alpine convertible (above) which was only fired up on extremely sunny days; so not very often. Which was fortunate, as I had seen the sweat and tears that usually accompanied the whole starting procedure.<\/p>\n

I had arrived in my far-from-classic Audi A3. I like my car, a lot. It goes very well, rarely has any problems, has air-con and fuel injection and starts first time, every time.<\/p>\n

Steve\u2019s Sunbeam, on the other hand, always had problems, the air-con was the roof, off, and it never started first time \u2013 sometimes not at all. But he loves it, probably more than I love my Audi.<\/p>\n

What is this madness that makes normally sane people become irrational about a car simply because it\u2019s old? Maybe it has nothing to do with its age, but how it looks. Maybe, like the one-eyed, three-legged dog in an animal rescue centre, you simply have to take it home and dedicate your life to it, nursing it along for other reasons, rational or otherwise.<\/p>\n

Perhaps owning a classic is a charitable act, keeping old dogs alive. I asked Steve later when we were all sat round the table\u2026 \u201cI\u2019d always wanted one, ever since I was a kid,\u201d he told us. And that\u2019s an answer many classic owners will offer, be it about a historic classic, classic or modern classic.<\/p>\n

And therein lies the big question: what makes a classic a classic? For road tax purposes, anything registered before 1973 is tax exempt and regarded as a classic. (That\u2019s the year I was born. Why can\u2019t I be tax exempt?) According to HM Revenue and Customs, anything over 15-years old is regarded as a classic, meaning the cars I grew up with, like the Opel Manta, the Sierra XR4i, Renault 5 Turbo, are all classics too.<\/p>\n

But be very careful to whom you say that\u2026 Peter Skinner of the Karmann Ghia Owners Club<\/a> has his own reasons for loving old dogs: \u201cI\u2019m an engineer and like engineering solutions. For me the Karmann Ghia, and of the course the Beetle it\u2019s based upon, is a wonderful tour de force of engineering.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now this makes sense to me. The Beetle was indeed ahead of its time in terms of functional engineering solutions. \u201cI\u2019m interested in how the designers arrived at these engineering solutions,\u201d Skinner continues. \u201cThe Beetle was a clever, utilitarian solution.\u201d But then the classic madness appears: \u201cBut I do also own a Citroen DS which, in comparison, is a dog\u2019s breakfast underneath; a heap of crap that won\u2019t start either. But I love them for it.\u201d Oh dear, and it was going so well…<\/p>\n

Graham Searle, who runs the Jaguar Enthusiast Club,<\/a> has owned over 60 Jags, and there\u2019s nothing his doctor can do for him either. His reasoning for the one-eyed, three-legged dog ownership stands up a little more simply because, well, they\u2019re Jags. \u201cJaguars were automatically called a classic when they were made,\u201d he says. \u201cBut what really defines a classic is far from tangible. There are official definitions of \u2018classic\u2019 but everyone has their own meaning. For me it was those childhood memories, the strongest memories, of a neighbour\u2019s MkII Jag.<\/p>\n

\"jaguar-mark2\"<\/figure>\n

Nostalgia is a big part of it, regardless of how far back you look or how old you are. It\u2019s all the same emotion, of harking back to better days, regardless of whether they were actually better or not. Classics are different. Modern cars all look alike. They\u2019re boring. I remember when snooker was in its heyday and there was the boring but brilliant Steve Davis, with little charm or personality. And at the other end was the obnoxious, arrogant, unreliable Hurricane Higgins. But it the one who had the character, or rather the character flaws, that was the most interesting.\u201d<\/p>\n

Steve Garret, owner of a mint 1980 Escort XR3i, always to be found polishing it in his drive down the road from my house, also talks about the nostalgia: \u201cI grew up watching the bloke across the road polishing his XR3i and dreaming of one day owning one. I didn\u2019t realise it\u2019d take over 25-years before I would.\u201d And his car is nearly 30-years old now, so it must a classic, right? \u201cOf course it is,\u201d he says, \u201cregardless of anyone else\u2019s definition, this is my classic right here, because I have the same feelings of nostalgia for it as Old Charlie and his Austin Healey. It\u2019s no different. And just look at it\u2026<\/p>\n

\"escort-xr3i\"<\/figure>\n

Car manufacturers are still trying to reassemble the DNA in the right order to create the same emotions this car did when it was launched. And they\u2019re struggling.\u201d That evening, at Mark and Liisa\u2019s, came to a close and Steve offered to drop me home as I had been drinking. Foolishly he\u2019d parked the Sunbeam nose first on a slope, where he needed to back-up. It was about 11.30pm, in a densely populated residential estate. The cacophony of noise as he repeatedly attempted to start the car and keep it from bogging down and stalling as he attempted a reverse hill start, was embarrassing, to say the least.<\/p>\n

After ten minutes, now illuminated by the numerous windows around us, each filled with a curious and weary face, he managed to back out of the space. Another five minutes of bicep-pumping 20-point turns, and we popped and banged away with a wave, amidst a chorus of cheers. And not angry cheers, but amused and probably pitying cheers. As I got out at my house five minutes later and watched him roar away, I found myself muttering, \u201cI\u2019d love one of those.\u201d I immediately went inside and repeatedly slammed my head in a cupboard door until the madness had gone.<\/p>\n
