Old Classic Car
Hi, I have lived and breathed vintage & classic cars, old lorries, automobilia and more here in the UK since the mid-1980s when I first laid a spanner on the decomposing remains of a 1967 Triumph Spitfire. I learnt to drive in a Mk1 Mini, and took my test in our Austin A40 Mk1. I created the Old Classic Car (OCC) site in 2001 to reflect my own interests in the world of aged automobiles and is updated regularly. I hope that my videos about these characterful old cars, and my obsessions about them, help raise the profile of these wonderful relics of motoring's past. Please subscribe and, if you are able, leave me a few comments.
Many thanks,
Richard Jones.
