Vintage car difficult to fill up at bowser
By Graham Smith · 12 Feb 2016

I own a gorgeous 1973 Lincoln Continental Mark IV, but I have trouble filling it with fuel. The filler is behind the flip-down number plate in the rear bumper.

Future value of repaired classic cars
By Graham Smith · 05 Jun 2015

Would the future value of a collector car be affected if it had a rear-quarter accident, but was repaired again and the complete car was re-sprayed to original condition? My thoughts are that collectable cars are built in low numbers to begin with and are hard to come by, so it shouldn't matter if the repairs and re-spray are done correctly. I'm considering a number of cars to purchase as future classics, hoping they might increase in value in years to come. The cars are: HSV VN SV5000, Honda Integra Type R, 1989 Mazda MX-5, Peugeot 205 GTi. What do you think?
