We all love a nice classic. I mean, we must do or you wouldn’t be reading this and I probably wouldn’t have written it in the first place. There can be all sorts of reasons why the emotions are stirred when we see a classic. Sometimes it will be the memory of a family-owned model, other times a recollection of wanting one years ago, or maybe it is just the fact that what we’re looking at is so darn gorgeous compared with modern cars that it fires up the I-really-want-one part of the brain. Whatever it is that a classic motor car does to your heart strings, rest assured that you are not alone and that there are plenty of people out there who have fallen for them too, and fallen for them pretty hard.
Jeff Vaughan is one such person. He’s what I’d call a serial offender when it comes to owning classics, not the kind that keeps repeating the same mistake, but the kind of chap who admires many different marques and models and has had an eclectic mix over the years to prove it. There has been one recurring theme to his classic choices though,
