Top 30: Top classics in 2013
Since HJClassics went online in April 2013, we've been counting which reviews you've been reading, and have been keeping a monthly track in our Top 10 Section. But for our year-end chart, we've totted up how many Google searches have landed in the website reviews section, to come up with a definitive list of what classic cars currently float your boat. And there's a lot of you into classic cars - we're now running at around half a million page views per month, and it's growing quickly.
The number one car - our Classic Car of The Year - won't be a surprise to anyone who regularly follows the charts, but there are some interesting entrants in our Top 30 for 2013. The conclusions that we can draw from the Top 30? Internet-using classic car fans are in love with cars from the 1980s, with the comfortable majority harking, or at least reaching their maximum popularity, during the 1980s. There is a smattering of 1960s and '70s mainstays, but what you seem to really appreciate usable retro cars. It will be interesting how these trends develop throughout 2014.
Enjoy the countdown...

Porsche 928
24,730 views
The 928 is another of those undervalued front-engined Porsches that we'll all be kicking ourselves for not having bought ten years from now. The combnation of a deep-chested, elastic V8, and nicely balanced handling are hard to deny - especially if a rear-engined air-cooled 911 isn't your thing.
Early cars getting rare, S models are amusingly quick, but the late 32-valve S4s are easily the most capable of the lot - and capable of 170mph. There aren't many cars out there that offer quite so much as a 929S4 for the money.
