How often should/do you drive your classic?

My mustang isn't a daily driver, but I try to drive it once a week, is this enough?

If you get to take it out once a week I think that would be great...the most important factor is that you take it for a reasonable spin 20/30 min. & let everthing reach operating temperatures & get that oil circulating...Quick 5 min. starting on/off I'd reckon would do more damage than not starting at all, probably notice your exhaust rusting away alot quicker this way too as not heating up enough to burn off water/internal condensation etc.

Enjoy the spins

I get a 40 min spin once a week, and try to fit in couple of small trips to the shops too.

Got rid of my last classic (72 SL) mainly as that would not have been enough to stop it going downhill, and that would have made me very sad.

I would think the older the car the more it needs to move!
