EDITORIAL
Ten years is a long time in the fast-moving world of the internet, and it's Classic Driver's tenth birthday next year.
Back in 1998 you had to look at your local paper or car trader magazine in search of a rare or expensive car. Nowadays, just three clicks from the Classic Driver homepage will bring you to your perfect car, anywhere in the world.
It will take you a little longer on manufacturers' websites, and some - like Aston Martin and Lamborghini - have yet to realise that the world has shrunk, and one way or another buyers will search globally for pre-owned cars. Perhaps another decade and they might get round to it.
We live in hope.
Their loss is our long-standing advertisers' gain, and we are delighted to bring you the very best in new and classic cars every week, direct to your inbox.
That's in addition of course to the news and reports of the Classic Driver 'scene' that prove so popular to an ever-growing global audience.
Thank you for your support over the past nine years, and here's to our double-digit celebrations in 2008.

Jaguar XK120 Roadster

Having had only one owner since 1967, this very early example is really quite stunning. Finished in very light metallic grey/blue, with matching wire wheels, and trimmed in mid blue hide the car exudes instant appeal. Fully restored by Southern Classics (under the legendary Alan Holdaway) in 1990 and maintained by Rectory Classics ever since, the car boasts a very good provenance indeed.
