Buying an oldtimer, first step in starting the search!

In my first post I promised to tell you something about what to keep in mind when buying your first oldtimer. Because my plan is to advise people in buying an oldtimer this will be a good next step in filling this blog.

The dream. For many people it’s a dream to one day own an oldtimer. They have been looking for many years. Lots of them have waited a long time to get to the position of being able to purchase one. For all of them it’s their dream come true.

Buying an oldtimer takes care. The older the car the more care should be taken. It’s possible to find 30 year old cars that still retain the vast majority of the qualities that were with the car when new, and you can enjoy them for a fraction of the price.

But do not assume that a second hand car is fine. A lot of oldtimers will look nice in the pictures, be careful to find one that is in the right condition for you.

Even so, surely the purpose of owning an oldtimer should be for the pure enjoyment rather than investment value. Take your time, enjoy the search for your oldtimer and the learning process. It’s worth it!
