Classic Cars
Many people think that owning an antique or classic car is expensive. In fact, it can work out cheaper than owning a modern car depending on the type of car that you buy.
The term 'classic car' usually refers to any vehicle that is more than 25 years old and can include sports cars, classic saloons, sedans and commercial vehicles. Antique or classic cars can cost anywhere in the region of £1,500 to hundreds of thousands of pounds depending on the car you are buying.
Some particular types of classic car are very rare and hard to find. However, there are many out there waiting to be bought if you know where to find them and are prepared to put in some time and effort. You can buy antique cars from:
- The Internet/online.
- Through adverts in classic car magazines.
- From car garages or used car dealers.
- At classic and vintage car events.
- At motor auctions.
- Through a classic and historic car club.
Some classic cars are exempt from road tax due to their age and it is usually much cheaper to insure a classic car than a modern one. This is because owners usually take great care of the cars and they are considered low risk for an insurance company. There are some companies that specialise in providing classic car insurance.
The amount of time and money that needs to be spent in terms of upkeep and restoration on a classic car will vary greatly between different makes, models and ages. Your best bet is to search on the Internet for information about specific makes and models.
