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...

Range Rover

It's been a big year for the Range Rover. The fourth-generation model was launched to massive critical acclaim. which reflected well on the original 'Classic', which continues to escallate in value. The original three-door cars are now moving resolutely onwards, perhaps driven by hype, but where there's demand, inflation follows. But don't let that get in the way of you enjoying a Range Rover - the truth is, the younger they are, the better they drive - and five-door Vogues are stlll temptingly affordable.
And truly, Range Rovers remain as brilliant as they ever did - making them by far the best classic off-roaders money can buy. And that's despite what Jeep and Toyota Landcruiser fans might say.
