It's the weekend, the sun is shining and spring has sprung. What better time to get the tarps off the classic motor, get it out of the garage and get out and about just for the pure pleasure of driving. It may not be environmentally friendly but, who knows we may not be able to enjoy these freedoms for too much longer. And what about those of us who don't have a classic motor resting in the garage? Well we have the Motor Trade Insider top iconic cars for your viewing pleasure. It's by no means an exhaustive list and the cars are presented in no particular order but following a poll amongst all the insiders the consensus is the following "ten top iconic cars" represent the best in classic motoring. As always any contributions are always welcome and, as it's such an subjective criteria, everyone will have their own ideas of what makes an "iconic" car but we're sure you'll agree there'd be plenty of fun to be had driving these cars around the country lanes up and down the UK. Happy motoring!
