Vintage and classic cars with patina are currently in vogue and are now fetching higher prices than fully or
over-restored vehicles. See article from the specialist literature Driver: Faded paint, rust film on the bumper and worn seats: the traces of time are no longer a flaw for a classic car. Sometimes they even increase the value of classic cars. Because for many classic car fans, a car now has to be one thing: authentic. Patina becomes prestige. And that's exactly what it's all about: cars that show their age.
Dull patches in the faded paintwork, the first cracks in the full-grain leather, rust film on the chrome bumpers. Drivers and collectors of classic cars have long preferred to preserve their current condition. A trend that has emerged as a side effect of the classic car boom of recent years: from 2007 to 2011 alone, the number of classic cars registered with the Federal Motor Transport Authority, i.e. vehicles at least 30 years old with a historic license plate, rose from around 160,000 to more than 210,000 cars. A mobile niche culture has arrived in everyday traffic. And so the cultural phenomenon of classic cars is itself creating new sub-trends and phenomena.
