Picking a winner
It’s that time of year when buying guru Quentin Willson picks the five Smart Buys of 2016, those rare opportunities to buy a classic car that is truly great to own but miraculously hasn’t been swept along at the same pace of the rest of the market.
To bring his predictions to life, and to put their virtues to the test, the Classic Cars team gathered an Austin-Healey 3000 MkII, MGB GTV8, Mercedes 560 SEC, Ford Escort Cosworth and Alfa Romeo SZ for a memorable test day. We each had our favourites – my choice was the ’Healey – but Quentin had to pick a winner. You can find out his verdict in the May issue, on sale until April 26.
Buying advice and market analysis is part of 16 pages of buying information in every issue of Classic Cars magazine, including Quentin Willson’s Smart Buys, Russ Smith’s Market Watch, in-depth buying guides and Ads on Test.
