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...

Ford Zephyr/Zodiac Mk4
18,820 views
Gosh, now here's a surprise. The Zephyr/Zodiac Mk4, and its plush Executove cousin, are considered - by Ford standards - to be a bit of a commercial falure. And with that in mind, we can only assume you like to follow the fortunes of a perennial loser, as the oddly-proportioned Mk4 has outscored cars such as the Sierra, Granada and Fiesta.
But find one in fine fettle today, and you'll own a true talking point - and that's probably why so many of you are interested in the last of the long-lived Zephy/Zodiac line.
