THE HOT 30 CLASSICS TO BUY NOW

Fate and fortune

QUENTIN WILLSON • A chance London rush hour encounter with a Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow made me realise how far its image has moved from the old wedding-car cliché

JOHN FITZPATRICK • Hearing that we’d lost Paddy Hopkirk was sad, but it took me straight back to 1964 when we first met, racing Minis in the British Saloon Car Championship

GRIT & GREATNESS • Their rallying exploits are legendary, and now they make thrilling choices as heroic classics to own. We drive five road-going cousins of rally stars to find out what you’re letting yourself in for

‘Dealers were encouraged to take part in motor sports themselves’ • As a senior engineer at division during the Escort RS years, Rod Mansfield witnessed a masterclass in motor sport spin-off marketing

PARALLEL UNIVERSE • Opportunity knocked when a coachbuilder invented cantilevered sliding doors. We drive one of seven Bentley 4¼ Parallel-Door DHCs to test the novel system

‘It seemed closer to the road than my other project cars. How wrong was I?’ • Restoring Triumph’s crash-damaged Beta prototype was a tough job which resulted in a 15-year quest for marque specialist Neil Revington

THE LIFE STORY OF A Fiat 500 Special Saloon • Built to contest the outrageous Special Saloons series of the Seventies, this unique car has charmed owners and spectators alike

STAR SHIP • The Mini Cooper 970S was created for 1000c production saloon racing, but this one enjoyed a rock star-studded life in the hands of Humble Pie guitar roadie, John Hammel

Audi Quattro • This technical groundbreaker is also a tough, usable classic, and interest is increasing in all things Eighties, making it a keen investment too

Games Without Frontiers

Better late than never...
