GREAT ESCAPE CLASSIC CAR HIRE

Although they’ve never had to play on it quite so desperately as some of the Italian marques, BMW has a considerable heritage. In fact, it’s been supporting owners of classic models for years with its Mobile Tradition operation. And like most German car makers, BMW can supply parts through main dealers for some of its oldest models and with Mobile Tradition, which has now been renamed BMW Classic.

Last week's Barrett-Jackson classic car auction set new records for attendance and a new high in total sales -- over $100 million. It also highlighted a new trend among automotive collectables: the concept car. These vehicles come with an instant and easily verifiable history: They're typically built as one-off autos by a team of experts to showcase future technology.

The Later With... presenter jumped out briefly to snap a photo of the car, before jumping back in to carry on his journey.

The specially-made vehicle has a personalised radiator with two badges on it - Jools Holland and Jet 1 engraved into a piano.




When it comes to great classic cars and hot rods Southern California has its
fair share of car clubs, classic car shows and classic car collectors.



Of course the vehicle would fit in beautifully in something like a super sci-fi sequel of Sin City or something, but in real life, I’m just going to have to pass this one!

Classic Car Insurance

Classic and Muscle Cars are fun to own and drive! The remarkable thing about purchasing a Classic, Convertible, or Collectible vehicle is that unlike many late model vehicles that tend to quickly depreciate, Classics are rapidly appreciating between 15 and 25 percent annually! Several leading financial articles suggest Americans should invest in Real Estate and Classic Cars, as "they're not making more of either"! In 2003, P.J.'s expanded to better serve their customers and opened a second Classic Car Showroom also located in Clearwater, Florida.




It's been four years since I last attended the Kirkland Concours d'Elegance and though it was a good show then, it has developed into a world-class international concours. So I don't intend to miss it this year since its the only one of of its type to be held in the Pacific Northwest.

Classic Car and bus stop in Havana


This particular TR won 4th place when driven by Piero Drogo in the 1000 km Buenos Aires in January of 1958. Drogo drove it one more time, in the Grand Prix of Cuba, before he sold it to American Alan Connell who drove it in nine races and spent most of that time in 1st or 2nd place in class. It featured in twelve more races between 1960 and 1963, making it one of the most raced Ferraris of all time.

Being the owner of a classic car separates you from the average car driver with practical needs. If your car was manufactured before 1973 or at least fifteen years back then it qualifies as classic car. A collector’s car is like a walking work of art that you have to maintain and preserve for its historical value. Consequently, a classic car insurance company will have different areas of focus than with the usual auto driver.
