Where will future generations get their inspiration to drive a classic car?
Today's classic car owners often buy the car they admired in their youth or whose back seat they rode in as a child. Sometimes they also buy a car that they could not afford in their early working life, even though they would have liked to have bought it.
But how are today's 15- or 20-year-olds, or later generations, supposed to get their hands on vehicles that were built long before they were born and have not been on our roads regularly for a long time? Will these generations only aspire to a Königsegg or Pagani, Bugatti Veyron or Lamborghini Gallardo? Probably not, because other influences are becoming more and more important, bringing old cars into play in the truest sense of the word, such as computer games. Anyone who plays Gran Turismo or Forza Motorsport, for example, automatically comes into contact with classic cars.
Old cars are also increasingly being used in TV series and films because they look more individual and there are no problems with potential product placement partners. What's more, the producers don't run the risk of being accused of surreptitious advertising.
It's probably no wonder that more and more TV commissioners are driving old cars.
In this way, future generations of drivers are also made aware of beautiful classic cars, even if they haven't experienced them themselves in everyday life.
