An aged but well maintained car, generally from the 1980s, that has been bought cheaply and lovingly restored to its former glory. Rusty Monkeys are typically bought cheaply (for less than £500) and restored to take part in charitable events, races, meetings or just for the fun of it.
Typical and popular Rusty Monkeys include the Audi Quattro, the old-style Ford Escort, the Ford Scorpio, the Trans Am and the original police Panda cars like the Ford Anglia.
