Yeah, don't worry, I've looked at all of that haha. Maintenance will be relatively easy as my Dad is an engineer, and he knows literally everything about engines, so it will be a breeze with that. Insurance on a classic car over here in NZ is so cheap, it ends up being roughly $200 a year to insure the car. Price is my main worry now. Just need to look at cars in my price range. Classics are relatively cheap in NZ, so it won't be hard picking one up. Thanks for the tips though :) Will definitely take them into consideration when viewing my first classic.

You need to keep reliability, maintenance, price and insurance in mind when shopping for a first car. Not sure if a classic would be the best option or not.

Thankyou Lamborarri :) And thanks again for the comment on the Morris. We picked it up last Saturday. That day I ended up having a Gallardo drive past us in the opposite direction, but missed it! Would have been a great shot if I was in my Mums car, not with my Dad in the Morris, cause it would have been like a Old VS New combo shot!!

And yes Nick, the classic car field is definitely the way to go. We have a classic car event over here called Caffiene and Classics, so we will take our little Morris down there :) When I get my classic, I can cruise with my Dad down to the event, and we can park up together :) Haha. Do you own a classic car? Or would you ever own one?

I'd take the red 356 in black. Nice shot Luke!! And that's really cool that you guys have a Morris Minor.

Ah understood. I've always thought MGBs were cool, as were TR6s. I still see both of those around somewhat regularly so there seems to be a good community of fellow owners.

I'm not sure if it will be a daily tbh. I'm in my final year of school, so when I head to University next year, then I guess I will daily it to Uni and back. Fuel won't be a super expensive bill, cause classics don't run through fuel like modern cars do haha (depending on the car). Luckily my dad is an Engineer, so he will be able to help a lot with the repairs in the car. Plus, he knows a few people who get high quality parts for classic cars, at a relatively cheap price. So, depending on the current quality of the car I purchase, depends on whether I daily it or not, cause I don't wanna daily a relatively unsafe car haha.

Oh haha. Is it going to be a daily driver? My dad replaced the clutch on an MGB a couple years back and it was pretty quirky to work on, and older cars in general just aren't quite as reliable (mostly because the parts have a ton of miles on them). It was a cool little car, although all I got to do was back it out of the garage (my dad didn't really trust me to double clutch it, plus it wasn't his car) so I'm not sure what it's like to drive.

Haha Nick, not quite old enough. I was looking at Old Minis, Morris Minors, Ford Escorts, Porsches, Old VW Beetles, Triumphs, mainly old classic English cars.

An early Miata : ) Very reliable, fun to drive, but not too powerful to get you in trouble. Not sure if that's classic enough though lol.

Any Japanese car is insanely reliable, so I'm not surprised people are driving them around. I am actually in the process of saving up and buying my first car, which will be a classic. Not gonna waste time on any of these new modern cars, cause they all look the same. I wanna own something that leaves a smile on both my face, and other peoples faces, cause classics always make people smile!! What would your idea of a perfect classic car be?? What you choose Nick?

I will keep an eye out for any photos you post of it! And I've always liked the FJ, see them around occasionally and think they're the coolest things. Apparently they are INSANELY reliable and easy to repair which is why they are still (somewhat) driven.
