Classic Sports Cars For

View:

Classic sports cars, those three words written, come up together to form an image of grandeur, speed and extravagance. For who can afford classic sports cars? Only the affluent of course! But for the average 'Joe' who may dream of some day having his own classic sports car and hopes to know more about it, this article is meant solely to provide information on this amazing 'king of the road'.

First know the foremost brands of classic sports cars.

1. Lotus

Lotus is famous for coming up with the Lotus Elise 11S, Lotus Elise Motorsport, Lotus Elan, Lotus Europa Twin Cam, Lotus Super Seven S4, Lotus Elan SE Turbo and Lotus Super Seven Replica by Birkin.

2. Austin Healey Sprite

Only Austin Healey Sprite can come up with the Bugeye Sprite Race Car with an outstanding 250 horsepower! The 1960 Speedwell Sprite Vintage Race Car is another force to reckon with, as well as the 1962 Austin Healey Sprite MK.

3. Austin Mini

Austin Mini boasts of the Mini Cooper that comes in excellent colours and for $13,000, it is quite a steal!

4. TVR

The TVR has this elite collection of classic sports cars like the TVR Tuscan Challenge Race Car, TVR S2 Roadster, TVR Taimar Coupe and TVR 2500M.

5. Birkin

The classic sports car is almost synonymous to the brand Birkin, as it is made famous with Louts Super Seven replicas and offers Birkin S3, Birkin C-S3 Street, among other roadsters that come with the Ford ZETEC engine, four-wheeled disc brakes and a heavy-duty aluminium body.

6. Jaguar

The Jaguar is the 'mighty' classic sports car that men cannot get enough of. With the Jaguar E-type Coupe, Jaguar X-Type Track Car and Jaguar C-Type replica, this is the brand that really pushes classic sports cars several 'to the limit'.

7. Triumph

Jaguar-engine Triumph roars just as a classic sports car is expected to do. Classic models like the 1969 Triumph Spitfire MK III and 1960 Triumph TR3A stand for what Triumph is all about - sophistication and power.

Here are some books that inform the reader on how to keep the classic sports cars in tiptop shape: "Classic Car Restorer's Handbook," "Fun and Profit Buying, Showing and Selling Vintage and Classic Cars," "Restoration of Antique and Classic Cars," "Budget Auto Restoration: Low Cost, Step-By-Step Tricks" and "How to Rebuild and Modify Your Muscle Car."

The classic sports car exudes action and nobility. No wonder, it never goes out of style.

Classic Sports Cars For

Convertible sports cars have always held a fascination with Australian drivers thanks largely to our wondrous climate and multitude of beautiful, scenic winding open roads. For many years it was the MG that best captured the romantic thrills of driving topless through the countryside or along the rugged coastline. While the MG still holds a warm place in the hearts of many Australian drivers, it's the Mazda MX-5 that has taken over as the popular choice in affordable sports motoring on Australian roads.

The Mazda MX-5 first hit the highways of Australia in 1989. And it made its mark in a big way, winning Wheels Magazine's Car of the Year. This new convertible sports car with its classic sports car styling and able handling and performance made it an instant hit with Australian drivers. Today, the MX-5 is still going strong and, thanks to its classic thoroughbred sports car styling, has required only minor cosmetic changes over the years. The latest, in 2005, has an updated interior and is a little roomier, but it still retains its classic, timeless styling.

As the Mazda MX-5 is a true sports car, it's strictly for one or two people to enjoy. This is obviously not a car to take the kids to their weekend soccer match. While you'll get a couple of soft bags in the bag for a weekend away, there isn't a great deal of room. But that's exactly what you'd expect from a sports convertible anyway. Another important aspect of convertible sports car driving is the ease of taking down the canvas top. While the MX-5 has a manual soft-top, it's easy to remove for topless driving. In fact, you can even drop it down while you're wasting time sitting in traffic or at a red light.

If you're in the market for a used oneowner car, look for a Mazda MX-5 made after 2000 as the engine was improved over earlier models. If you can afford to pay a little more for your used car, look for one of the post 2005 models. Make sure you check over the car thoroughly as there is an obvious temptation for owners to drive the MX-5 hard. Also, make sure you check under the carpets for water damage from leaky soft-tops and remember to look over the dashboard for any signs of sun damage.

When you buy your Mazda MX-5, you might consider joining one of the Mazda MX-5 car clubs around Australia. These clubs are full of MX-5 enthusiasts who love taking their cars out for fun weekend drives on open, windy roads. You can find a club in each state except Tasmania and the Northern Territory.
