This week we convinced Clinton Laude, Dealer Principal at Laude Classics in Cape Town, to reveal his 4 top tips for anyone looking to buy a classic car. 

Trust people who know the vehicle’s story.

“Buy a classic car from somebody who understands the car. So British cars have got specific noises, some of them are good, some of them not so good. German cars have got specific noises, some of them are good, some of them not so good.

So buy a car from somebody that understands, knows, and has a mechanical connection to the vehicle, because he will listen to it.”
