“As 2018 draws to a close, it’s time to reflect on all that’s happened in the world of classic and collector cars. Below are our 10 most popular stories from 2018, ordered from first to 10th.

You, our readers, have demonstrated a taste for stories across the spectrum this year – whether it’s multi-million dollar classic exotica or a cheap muscle car in need of some TLC.  Even the somewhat polarising EV conversion movement got some love from our readers this year.

We look forward to bringing you even more of the best classic car news and features in 2019. From all of us at AutoClassics, have a happy new year!”
