How does the club select classic cars to invest in?

The selection process for classic cars at époque is wide and strategic. Each potential investment undergoes evaluation based on historical significance, rarity, and market demand past and future based on expert reviews and sales, and of course price.

We have internal team members who assess the vehicle's condition, verifying authenticity and originality and a widening expert pannel of advisors from across the spectrum of motoring world. Only those classics with a compelling narrative or unique features make the cut.

Market trends play a crucial role as well. The team analyses data to predict future value appreciation, ensuring that each car represents a sound investment for members.  The mid-sector pricing (£20,000-£85,000 for example) is one of the fastest growing and potentially beneficial as investment areas of classic car ownership - it is this area that époque is interested in to grow - the next generation of gems and icons of years gone by.  

Passion fuels this endeavor too. Many selections are inspired by automotive history or cultural impact, adding an emotional layer to decisions and the clubs collection.
