THE INSIDE LINE
“Lockdowns and the furlough scheme have ensured itchy fingers”
S pring has sprung and you can’t buy a classic car for love nor money. At least not in the traditional manner, for a cursory glance at the private classified ads reveals there’s not a lot out there. A percentage of that is no doubt down to vendors not wanting others in the vicinity of their homes – it certainly accounts for a large uptick in the annual volume of cars that we deal with.
There’s more to it than that though, for it’s evident that we’re in (yet another) strong market. The enforcement of lockdowns and their resultant ennui, as well as the effects of the furlough scheme, have ensured two things: people aren’t able to spend money on the usual suspects (holidays, socialising, leisure, entertaining, etc); and itchy fingers.
