The world of classic cars is filled with icons that evoke nostalgia, excitement, and admiration. Footman James Insurance recently released a list of the Top 10 classic cars, as voted by their customers, and we’re proud to say that RNG Classics has 8 of the top 10 classics available for hire in our fleet.
Here’s the list, reimagined with a little RNG Classics flair:
10. Morris Minor
A true British classic, the Morris Minor was one of the first cars to bring affordable motoring to the masses. At RNG Classics, our meticulously restored Minor offers you a chance to experience the charm and simplicity of this everyday icon. It’s as delightful to drive as it is to photograph!
9. AC Cobra
Few cars can match the sheer thrill of an AC Cobra’s growling V8. Our Cobra replica delivers all the drama and excitement of this legendary two-seater. It’s a head-turner on the road and a dream to drive, making it perfect for events or a spirited country drive.
8. Audi Quattro
The car that revolutionized rallying with its groundbreaking all-wheel-drive system, the Audi Quattro is an engineering marvel. At RNG we have an RS6 and RS4 both derived from those iconic rally Quattros which are a piece of rallying history, available for hire to relive the glory days of turbo lag and all-conquering grip.
