CLASSICS VALUE WITH AGE
The Classic Car Club is an active club founded in 1990 by a small group of classic car enthusiasts.
Our club’s purpose is to bring together people who are interested in cars—especially those classic vehicles with distinctive features from their era that are now rarely seen on the streets—who strive to preserve them and restore them to working condition, and who wish to exchange ideas in this regard.
