Old vintage cars – great passion or investment?

Are you a fan of motorisation? Are you fascinated by old cars that have a history of their own? Do you miss the proverbial soul in modern vehicles? For some people, owning a car that allows them to get to work, go shopping or go on holiday is enough. Others have found their passion in car collecting and are happy to invite several, a dozen or even several hundred cars into their garage. Old collector cars and vintage cars are the pearls of motorisation – they attract attention and make the heart beat faster for many.

Collector cars – what influences their value?

Collector cars are at least 25 years old. Younger models may also be awarded this proud title if they are an important addition to the collection or have been recognised by two independent appraisers as being of particular importance to automotive development. Such vehicles must also meet the conditions of vehicle characteristics and have a minimum of 75% original parts, structural assemblies and other equipment and accessories. A car that does not have 75% original parts is considered a replica.

Collecting old vintage vehicles is a great passion and way of life for some, while for others it is an investment. Whatever the reason, the market is growing in popularity and strength. Owning a collector car is quite a prestige. The value of a car depends not only on its age and condition, but also its past. Valuable cars are also the ones which belonged to important personalities in the past or models that achieved top sporting results in prestigious national and international events.

Keeping old collector cars in the DriveUp units

Do you dream of owning a collector car, but due to a lack of garage space, you are putting off this dream for sometime? Not everyone has a house with a garden and a large garage where they have the space to keep several cars. A large number of Poles live in blocks of flats and apartments, which have limited or no garage space. However, this does not mean that these people have to give up their dream of owning a motoring gem. A good solution would be to rent a DriveUp unit at the Less Mess Storage branches.

You can therefore combine your desire to own a collector vehicle with an additional business idea. Fulfil your passion, sky is the limit and be the proud owner of a beautiful old vintage car.
