Why under-25s are buying classic cars instead of modern models
Rising insurance costs and the appeal of distinctive, repairable vehicles are encouraging more under-25s to choose classic cars over modern hatchbacks. Just Kampers reports a more than 200% increase in classic-car, modern-classic and campervan policies among this age group over two years. A quoted example found comprehensive insurance for a £7,500 1967 Volkswagen Beetle costing £463, compared with £704 for a 2019 Volkswagen Polo, although classic cars require more maintenance and lack modern safety and convenience features.
