What's the definition of a classic car?  Wiki says:  The common theme is of an older car of sufficient historical interest to be collectible and worth preserving or restoring rather than scrapping.

I'd love to own this one

My dad got a bit fed up with ours when my brother and I worked out how to break into it and then he spun it on a wet road.  He upgraded to a Cortina wot was wonderful (for the time)

Amazing but FFS who would want it now?  Even by 1978 standards it was less than impressive and it's hardly an oil painting now.

Crush it
