Nothing turns the head of a discerning motor enthusiast than the sight - and often the sound - of a perfectly restored classic car.

It’s one thing to boast owning a brand new car, but another to feel the delight of driving around for the first time in a classic car you have lovingly repaired for months,.

Up and down the country, millions of people have a little secret hiding in the garage; a restoration project under way; a plan for traveling in style next summer.
