Sara, you are right, classics seem to be a dying breed and members have upgraded and brought a newage Impreza or gone to the dark side.

I pass 3 every morning on the way to Sudbury and there's quite a few in Colchester. Must admit that it can be a while between sightings in Colchester itself.

Thinking about it Classics's do seem to getting a bit more scare around the west mids area.
I do about about 40 mile a day and don't see one most days
where have all the classics gone?
