  Brexit – What does it mean for classics? 18 Jul 2016 (News)
  Investment is just one thing, though. Indeed, for many of us, it’s a bad thing, as it takes the cars we want to own for purely nostalgic purposes annoyingly out of reach. If consumer caution means prices start to soften, then it could mean that, once again, the car you always promised yourself is back within reach.

  Largest gathering of XKs set to celebrate model's 70th anniversary 8 May 2017 (News)

  Comedian Jerry Seinfeld’s Porsches for sale at US auction 27 Jan 2016 (News)
  Auction house Gooding & Company has confirmed at least three of the Stuttgart-built sportscars will be going under the hammer, which could earn Seinfeld about £7m. The US television star is famously cagey about the size and worth of his car collection, but estimates put it in the region of 40 to 50 vehicles. Seinfeld said, ‘I don't really even think of myself as a collector. I just love cars. And I still love these cars. But it's time to send some of them back into the world, for someone else to enjoy, as I have.’ The three cars confirmed for the sale are a 1955 Porsche 550 Spyder (estimate up to £4.2m), a 1958 Porsche 356A 1500 GS/GT Carrera Speedster (up to £1.75m), and a 1974 Porsche 911 Carrera 3.0 IROC RSR (£1m).

  NEC to celebrate younger classic petrol heads 29 Jul 2014 (News)
  Event Director Dan Nwaokolo says young people are the future of the classic community. ‘We’re thrilled at the number of younger people we see at the show each year – it’s great to see so many clubs either embracing younger people or youngsters forming their own clubs.’ While some clubs suffer from stagnating or even dwindling memberships, those that embrace younger members are set to flourish. Youngsters are the future of the classic car movement, bringing with them a wider selection of cars into the scene and the enthusiasm needed to keep our hobby alive for years to come.
