Re: classic cars... I grew up with them (Rover P4's, mainly) and wouldn't recommend as a car for a 17 year old. They're expensive to insure (I never looked into getting insured on the P4 but insurance for a Landrover series 2 is silly expensive), expensive to run, always needing maintenance, not really that much fun to drive... Landrovers are more fun to drive, easier to maintain, almost impossible to dent (protip: crash one into another, that will dent them both). If your kid really REALLY wants something old then I'd go for something like that, though really it would be much better to wait a few years until the insurance is less absurd.
