The definition of a
real thoroughbred car is open to discussion. This website
celebrates those cars through the ages that were 'better than
the rest'. The initial purchase cost is just one factor. Most
of these cars were hand built and were marketed to those very
few who could afford them. Some well known marques also
managed to produce some terrible models and these will be
omitted. For many years, the Vintage Sport Car Club of Great
Britain refused to accept some cars under the category of
'post vintage thoroughbred' on the grounds that some excellent
cars were produced in too great a quantity to be thoroughbred.
The most noticeable victim of of this policy was the pre-war
MG despite the fact that many class world speed records were
held by that marque and that they enjoyed a very successful
racing career.
