Why does the club invest in classic cars?

Classic cars represent more than just nostalgic beauty; they embody history, craftsmanship, and timeless appeal. Investing in these vehicles allows the club to preserve a slice of automotive heritage while enjoying potential financial gains.

The allure of classic cars lies in their ability to appreciate over time. Unlike many assets that depreciate, well-maintained vintage models often increase in value. This trend makes them an attractive option for savvy investors looking to diversify their portfolios.  As an investment class, classic cars are frequently and consistently out performing traditional stock markets and so, those savvy investors often find themselves seeking those elusive gems.  This is where the club steps in.

Moreover,  classic cars fosters a community passion among members. It’s not just about ownership; it’s about sharing experiences and knowledge with fellow enthusiasts who appreciate the artistry behind each vehicle. 

Additionally, classic cars can be seen as sustainable. They encourage recycling resources by keeping older vehicles on the road rather than contributing to wasteful cycles of production and disposal.

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.
