A new season starts and we have a very nice selection of cars we like and enjoy for sale ready to use today. There is a shifting of the tectonic plates with the classic car fraternity and we simply can’t ignore it. I guess it has been coming for a while as we see a trend towards Retro Classics as they are known. The ‘kids’ with the disposable income in search of their childhood dreams remember the Ford Sierra Cosworth, Audi Quattro etc. Their parents now in the 60-80+ year old category are for lots of reasons not using their dream cars and as such the force of the market sees lots of hitherto very desirable classics from the 1950′- 60’s coming available after years and decades of long term ownership. Lots of cars available and not so many buyers is the reality. Does that mean cars sitting around for a long time before selling? Does it mean the price drops? Does it signal a chance for younger enthusiasts to buy the ‘old’ car they have always dreamed but never thought attainable? The answer is a bit of all 3 scenarios.

With fewer restorers due to retirement of the skills the market pushes the price of the skills up. Therefore restorations of cars that are reducing in value and are less desirable becomes a tricky balance of heart and head. This manifests itself in cars that are fully restored or excellent unrestored becoming the purchase of choice for many buyers. Scruffy ‘used’ cars requiring work are being thoughtfully considered and then left on the shelf.

We have a super selection of restored and original well maintained cars for sale. I can scarcely remember a better selection of cars in stock. They are all priced to reflect what I have just written. Great cars sensibly priced with part exchange and finance of the cars an option.

It’s going to be a fun season as always. Let’s see what happens.
