One is dedicated to old-fashioned beauties, the other is for more modern cars set apart from the mainstream by their unique features.SELLSCollectable cars - modern-looking, sought after for their special makes and unusual features.Classic cars - collectable cars which also have status.Vintage cars - those older than 60 years old, although purists classify only cars made in the '50s, '40s and earlier as vintage despite the fact that the yardstick technically changes as time progresses.LOCATIONOn Anton Lembede Street, near what has historically been the city's car and mechanical shopping district.INSPIRATIONA hobby and passion which evolved into a business. Each time I sell a car a chunk of my heart goes with it.SPACEMinimalist. The cars are the centre of things.LOVESEach car that passes through. You could give me a new car and I wouldn't be moved.

Sometimes a car will be in the middle of a bush - just sitting there for 30 years. Sometimes it'll be stuck in the middle of a river. It's exhilarating. I travel all over the country to find them.SOUNDTRACKGenerally '50s and '60s music - old Beatles songs, the Rolling Stones, Frank Sinatra.IN A SENTENCEDurban's museum for vintage and classic cars. - Siphiliselwe MakhanyaNostalgic Cars, 171 Anton Lembede Street, Durban. 031-332-0915..
