- Summary
- COI synopsis: Antique, hand-built and eccentric - veteran cars certainly have unique appeal for any motorist who looks on the car as more than a mere mechanical box designed to transport him comfortably from A to B. But that of course is just where the erratic veteran can often fall short. So this week Michele Brown finds out what it’s like to drive a car which gives its owner the best of both worlds - all the reliability that modern technology can offer, along with all the charms of motoring Edwardian-style.
