Comments on: Classic, Vintage and Antique – How Can You Tell? https://www.privatefleet.com.au/blog/home/classic-vintage-and-antique-how-can-you-tell/ News and views about cars in Australia Tue, 22 Aug 2023 12:03:10 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.1.5 By: malcolm mawson https://www.privatefleet.com.au/blog/home/classic-vintage-and-antique-how-can-you-tell/#comment-4756 Wed, 24 Sep 2014 11:39:12 +0000 http://blog.privatefleet.com.au/?p=4439#comment-4756 Dear Megan

Your article written on my birthday (22 september) has prompted me to share a desire of mine!

My first car was a 1935 Morris 8 sports (convertible) with running boards & wire wheels— I believe 1935/36 was a rare model– –other pre-war 1937/1938 models had steel wheels. The convertibles were hardly a classic car but had great lines for its age. Also compared to the sedan version which was plain ugly.

As far as I am aware Morris production did not recommence
exporting the Morris 8 after WW2 –my recollection —the pre war was superseded by the Morris series E around 1946/47.

As 2015 will represent 80 years since my first car took to the road (1935 ) I have been considering purchasing a Mustang
2.3 litre turbocharged four-cylinder model as a replacement!

My problem is ordering the Mustang in QLD—the local ford dealership—-whom I contacted earlier this year — put me on a mailing list. I have now just received a newsletter from Ford Australia advising it has received 13,000 expressions of interest ahead of the 2015 launch.
The announcement also said a US $2000 deposit will reserve a car and “secure your Saleen VIN number”

It may therefore be over a year or more before the Mustang is readily available unless you can get me on a priority list for delivery next year .

I would appreciate your assistance /recommendations to achieve delivery next year to achieve the 80 year goal.

Kind Regards

Malcolm Mawson

Great article. Add few more Vintage car images please. Am looking for information regarding old vintage cars. If possible kindly send the source of your article. If you ask me, I just Loved The A Model T Ford from 1910 the antique car. Hope you won’t let me down. Natasha
