Youngtimers are becoming the new classics!

The latest 2026 Half-Time Report from CLASSIC.COM shows a clear shift in the collector car market: buyers are increasingly putting their money into cars from the 1990s and 2000s.

CLASSIC.COM is one of the largest collector-car market databases, tracking cars offered and sold through auctions, dealers and private sellers across the specialty car market.

In the first six months of 2026, it tracked:

• 54,110 cars listed
• 40,161 cars sold
• $3 billion in total sales
• 74% sell-through rate

But the interesting part is where the money is moving.

Across the wider market, dollar volume for 1990s cars increased 62.6%, while 2000s cars increased 66.5%.

At the same time, the oldest parts of the collector market are losing ground.

It’s a generational shift: the cars people grew up dreaming about in the 1990s and early 2000s are becoming serious collector cars.

And considering many European and JDM youngtimers are now reaching the 25-year mark and becoming eligible for easier import into the USA, this is a segment worth watching.

🇺🇸 Importing a classic car into the USA? Here's what changed.

Over the past several months, U.S. import tariffs have changed multiple times, making the rules confusing and leaving many buyers unsure of what actually applies. With the latest updates now in place, here's a simplified overview for classic car imports.

For vehicles 25 years and older!
Total import duty:
• 🇪🇺 EU: 10% (7.5% + 2.5%)
• 🇯🇵 Japan: 12.5% (10% + 2.5%)
• 🇬🇧 UK: 12.5% (10% + 2.5%)

If you're planning to import a classic car from Europe, it's worth understanding the total landed cost before making a purchase.

If you have questions about sourcing, inspecting, or shipping a classic car from Europe to the USA, feel free to get in touch.

Attending the "Summer in Classic" event for the new VESPERA launch!

The classic Range Rover is one of the most influential luxury 4×4s ever built. Introduced in 1970, it combined permanent four-wheel drive, coil-spring suspension, and everyday comfort in a way no other off-roader had before.

Things to check when inspecting a classic Range Rover that AI won't tell you:

1. Many European classic gasoline vehicles have an LPG conversion. If you're planning to export the vehicle overseas, remember that cars fitted with LPG systems cannot be transported on most international vessels unless the LPG system is removed.

2. The often upgraded Vogue front grille and headlights restrict airflow compared to the original design, making the cooling system more prone to issues. Check carefully for signs of overheating and whether the cooling system has been properly maintained.

3. The original velour interior ages remarkably well and is often in better condition than leather, although it can get quite warm during the summer.

4. Defender wheels are a direct fit, giving you a much wider choice of wheels and tires than many owners realize.

5. Never lift or close the hood from the sides. It's made of aluminum and flexes easily—always handle it from the center.

6. The interior plastics become brittle with age, and there are a lot of them. Inspect them carefully for cracks and broken mounting points.

7. The Rover V8 is based on Buick's lightweight aluminum V8 design. It's an old-school, simple engine that's easy to work on, but don't expect impressive power or fuel economy.

The details tell the story. These are the kinds of things we look for when inspecting a classic Range Rover beyond the usual body, interior, chassis, engine, and drivetrain checks.

This past weekend, we had the pleasure of attending the World Ducati Week, celebrating 100 years of Ducati.

Seeing thousands of Ducatis, meeting enthusiasts from around the world, and experiencing the passion that surrounds this iconic brand was something truly great.

For a century, Ducati has represented innovation, performance, Italian craftsmanship, and a passion that goes far beyond motorcycles.

Happy 100th anniversary 🇮🇹❤️🏍️

Maintenance Matters!

The classic Land Rover Defender has become one of the most sought-after 4x4s in the world. Built with simplicity and capability in mind, these vehicles earned their reputation everywhere from farms and construction sites to expeditions and military service.

Things to check when inspecting a classic Land Rover Defender that AI won't tell you:

1. Corrosion of the rear crossmember directly behind the rear wheels.

2. Corrosion between the hood and the upper door hinge on the bulkhead.

3. Courtesy lights almost never work.

4. The right-side instrument cluster almost always develops cracks around the mounting holes.

5. The headliner is made from compressed cardboard and is very often sagging.

6. Under the passenger seat, the wiring loom can become contaminated with engine oil.

7. Remove the plastic cover in front of the gear lever and inspect the fuse box. Very often the wiring is a mess. Dirt or mud in this area is a red flag.

8. The plastic engine cover on TD5-powered Defenders contains insulation material that deteriorates with age and can become a fire hazard. Many owners choose to remove it.

9. The turbo is often tired if it produces bluish smoke on startup or under load.

The details tell the story. These are the kinds of things we look for when inspecting a classic Defender beyond the usual mechanical, interior and exterior checks.
