15 Classic Cars to Buy in 2026 – Backed by Data, Chosen by Desire

10 from the just-released UK Hagerty BullMarket List, 11 from the US Hagerty BullMarket List Plus Four of my own choices!

Every year, the classic car world gives us something incredibly valuable: perspective. Market data. Trend analysis. Long-term insights. Carefully curated Bull Market lists that track what’s rising, what’s stabilising, and where enthusiasm is quietly building long before prices make headlines. Organisations like Hagerty don’t just look at values, they study behaviour, demographics, cultural shifts, and how people actually use and enjoy their cars. That work matters. A lot.

It gives enthusiasts and buyers a clearer picture of where the classic car world is heading, not just where it’s been. It helps cut through hype, spot patterns early, and understand why certain cars are being reappraised by a new generation of owners. This video builds directly on that foundation.

BCG Therapy Podcast: Remembering Quentin Willson: A Personal Tribute to a Motoring Giant

A personal tribute to Quentin Willson, filled with memories, gratitude and the stories that show why he mattered so much to car people everywhere

Is the Chancellor About to Scrap the 40-Year Classic Car Exemption?

Are They Coming for Our Classics? – The Chancellor’s Bonkers Plan to Tax Heritage!

Rumour has it the Chancellor, Rachel Reeves, is preparing to scrap the 40-year tax exemption for classic cars – and if true, it could be one of the daftest economic moves in decades. Because make no mistake – if this goes ahead, you won’t just be taxing old motors. You’ll be taxing passion, history, and an £18-billion-a-year industry that already contributes around £3 billion in taxes annually to the Treasury.

To Drive, or Not to Drive – What Would Shakespeare Say About Cars Today?

As we celebrate William Shakespeare’s birthday, we ponder: what if the Bard of Avon had lived in the age of the automobile?

Today marks the birthday of the one and only William Shakespeare – the world’s most celebrated playwright, poet, and perhaps, in a parallel timeline, petrolhead. While he penned immortal words on love, loss, war, and wit, one can only imagine how the great Bard might’ve turned his quill to combustion.

Classic car enthusiasts, brace yourselves! The DVLA has been quietly running a consultation that could have MAJOR implications for historic, rebuilt, modified, and electric-converted vehicles in the UK.
