The Guide
Consider the K500 Guide to be the automotive equivalent of Robert Parker’s wine scoring service or Michelin’s red book. We’ve researched the most relevant classic cars for today’s collectors and enthusiasts, rating each out of a possible maximum of 100 points.
The no-nonsense ranking system, valuations, technical specifications and straight-talking on getting into the best events mean that you can now make a far better informed decision on what’s a triumph and avoid the turkeys.
