A panel discussion held on the last day of Car of the Year 2017 sees classic car collectors Clarence Tan, Shreejit Chagaroth, Kumar Balasingam and Anil Thadani sharing what got them interested in classic cars, difficulties faced, and cars of today that could potentially be a classic in the next few years.
Here’s what we asked our panelists:
1:18 – How did you get started with classic cars?
3:32 – What makes a good investment car? Which brands sell better at auction? What criteria should people look for when investing in a classic car?
6:57 – Some car companies are no longer in business. How do you get parts for those cars?
12:46 – For a first-time classic car buyer, how or where do they get the information from? Is there a group or forum they can join?
17:09 – Why did you take so long to find the car of your dreams?
18:26 – What information would you give to a first-time buyer? What information do you wish you had when you bought your first classic car?
20:43 – There are many variations of a classic car. How did you decide which particular model to buy?
25:32 – Which modern cars do you think will make good, investible classics in the next 35 years?
31:00 – What are the dos and don’ts of collecting classic cars? What do you say to those with misconceptions that classic cars are unaffordable?
