This week, we bring together 15 ideal classics for restoration that enjoy strong parts and club support, from humble Citroën 2CV to mighty Mercedes W123. We also celebrate the 45th and 30th birthday of the Jaguar XJ Series 3 and X300 respectively as arguably the two most landmark XJs. Elsewhere, the Citroën CX takes on the Rover SD1 and Audi 100, Paul drives a charming Peugeot 205 automatic, we offer Volvo P1800 buying advice, chart values on the Chris Bangle-designed BMWs and consider the future of classic repairs. All this, plus the usual news, auctions and nostalgia!
