Tom's Answer: Yes, absolutely. People want to get out, they want to be sociable, and they want to participate, travel, collect and enjoy their hobby! If anything, the lockdown has made people aware that they should enjoy each and every moment and indulge themselves in the activities that give them the most pleasure, such as the classic car hobby. 

Tom's Answer: For sure. People today want a very high-quality example, with all of the advanced performance and comfort features that are available; as such, many have sought to upgrade their E-Types, XKs and Mark 2s accordingly. The resale values on these modified examples have proven to be very strong.

Tom's Answer: Have you considered taking your car and driving it in a Rally? A good rally to a great area makes a very memorable experience. You will not only meet new people from all over, but you may also become lifelong car friends that can enjoy the classic car hobby together. There are a number of great clubs and charitable organizations that offer everything in a package such as planning the itinerary, hotel booking, arranging all meals, and placing the event in a very memorable and scenic location. You may also contact your local classic car club and inquire about these types of events; many local-level Jaguar and Porsche clubs offer or otherwise take part in many of these events.
