Is the Porsche 912 Set to Pick Up the Investment Baton From the 911 in 2018?
Posted on March 14th, 2018 by Adam
So we’ve reported over the last few months a slight slowdown in the 911 market. We speak to many people in the trade and they are saying the same thing. However, lower value 911s like the 3.2 Carrera we auctioned last week will always be desirable at sensible money in the £30k-£40k range, […]

Could Buying a Classic Car be the Greener Option?
Posted on February 1st, 2018 by Mike Atwal
Here at Trade Classics we love to put on our Mystic Meg demeanour and make our predictions between us. Because all we do is talk cars, and then some. “I reckon the Mercedes W124 coupe will be worth a lot of money in years to come.” I’m guilty of this constant whine without taking action. […]

Posted on August 29th, 2017 by Mike Atwal
“What are they like in the mornings?” Here’s a big taboo; imagine teasing out the honest, detailed answer from an ex…before you decide to date a new person… because you never actually know someone properly until you get to… well… know them properly.

The TVR Tuscan – an alien’s car with solid investment potential!
Posted on January 17th, 2016 by Mike Atwal
Patience. And not being able to control something completely. Two of my pet hates. Yes, hate. A powerful term, but I mean it. The human attribute dubbed patience was not programmed into my brain when I was created, nor have I developed it, nor have I learnt it. In fact, I never will. I have […]
