Buying a classic car is something that excites many people. The wonders of classic engineering and car design mean that there are some cars which can hold their value as they grow older, even if this is due to the magic of what they represent rather than anything to do with technical brilliance. Most modern day cars will be technically superior to even some of the best old cars, but the look and feel of a classic of the past make up for a lot of other considerations. Certainly as a conversation piece, a wonderful old car will make for more of an exciting investment than the vast majority of new ones on the block. However, if you have any intention of driving the vehicle, you would still be well advised to run some checks before parting with your cash. 

As a minimum, you should ask to see any paperwork connected to the car to ensure that its vehicle identification number (VIN) matches up, and ask for any pictures taken of the car before, during and after any restoration. Lost or forged paperwork can be a way of hiding irregularities with any car. Ensure that its service history tallies up with what you would expect, and find out if it has any maintenance scheduled. All classic cars have history, and you want to be sure that this car’s history is more along the lines of the moon landings than the D-Day landings. If it has been through a lot it will not hold its value.   Read more...

Are you ready to shop for classic car insurance? Maybe, maybe not. Before you pick up the phone, let’s take a minute to review the six questions you need to consider before you talk with an agent. Essentially, your agent is going to want to know how much the car is used and how you plan to maintain it. Knowing the answers to these questions will save you time on the phone — and put you in a much better position to negotiate the best insurance coverage for your classic honey.

1. Do you plan to insure the car for what you feel it’s really worth? Your agent will undoubtedly ask how much insurance coverage you are seeking — if your personal opinion of value is higher than the vehicle’s appraised value, you may want to consider a higher level of coverage.

2. Do you plan to participate in car club events? If so, you need to consider the amount of liability you can incur in such events. A classic car that is stored 365 days a year has much less potential for liability claims than a car that is driven regularly in parades and other event.

3. Are you planning an extended period of renovation for the car? If so, do you need to insure the car while it’s off the road?

4. Do you plan to ship the car any time soon? If so, additional coverage may be warranted since the car will be outside of your control.  Read more...

Nothing beats the exhilaration brought about by speed. Anyone who has ever driven an automobile has at least dreamt of taking the role of Steve McQueen in “Bullitt”, getting into a high-speed car chase. If not Bullitt, each driver has dreamt playing Michael Caine’s Charlie Cosker in “The Italian Job”, driving that gorgeous convertible into the very heart of the gold heist.. Anyone who has ever taken control of the wheel has at least once dreamt of driving not just to get from point A to point B but to go from point A to B in flair. And driving a fantastic sports car fulfills this dream.

In making an automobile or any land vehicle for that matter, a lot of factors are being considered: cost of material, safety, efficiency, and performance are only some of these at play on the drawing board of a car maker.
