I don't consider that Celica to be one, barring maybe the GT4, but this is the closest thread that ticks the boxes/catch all
However, what constitutes a classic?
Age?
Cost to purchase now?
Numbers left/rarity?

I didn't photo anything modern ford vauxhall etc!!
Some guy parked his modern sports car in the line up - what a Wally!!
Everyone else must have thought what's he doing but didn't say anything as they ate another salmon and cucumber sandwich!!

Production date and desirability/rarity for me. Plenty of cars over 25 years old that I don't see as true classics

'Had to root around in the bottom of my toolchests today, get some imperial spanners out'
'Why' I asked, 'what you working on?'
'Scimitar, front end oil seal etc'
I thought for a second....
'Christ, we've all had imperial stuff, most of us threw them away long ago'

Quite a nice Rolls-Royce in Cardiff today, I think it's the "Chinese" model of the 1960s Silver Cloud but I only saw it from the back. It looked in lovely condition and the Rolls V8 burble was clearly a far more sophisticated and classy sound the the rough seeming Yank cars of days gone by
Here's a stock picture of what I think it was from the front explaining the rather un PC nickname

When searching for the stock picture it seems Kate Moss had one just like that. They go for £100k or more these days. My favourite Roller or Bentley of that ere are the coachbuilt Betley Continentals. Some of which even have manual gearboxes, so wouldn't be ruled out for me - well, apart from a six figure price tag!

Yesterday (or was it the day before?) a rather nice black Healy 3000 with a hard-top, and an immaculate Ford 100E pootling through the town.
I also caught just a glimpse of an unwieldy plywood castle manoeuvring past the parked cars, which means that carnival season is nearly upon us.
