Maybe it's the time of year? No oil threads, build threads, valuation threads. It's all a bit threadbare. I'm conscious of the changing landscape for cars in the UK. It's a triple threat. The T charge will be levied in London for cars being used that don't hit current emissions targets. It's not a big step from this point for other local authorities to bring in their version of the same. I don't use my 993 much but knowing every time I took it out of the garage I was being thumped with a £10-£15 'toxicity" fee, would really give me the needle.
We have speed cameras breeding and multiplying like vermin. As the cost drops, it becomes more lucrative for these cameras to get sited on dual carriageways and no doubt soon on B roads. For our collective safety. I can see the day approaching when these cameras effectively blanket the UK road network.
Finally, young drivers already have mandatory black boxes fitted to their cars in order to get Insurance. These devices blow an electronic whistle if the cars are, for example, being used after a set time. Couldn't be difficult for these boxes to become a mainstream requirement informing Insurance companies of acceleration, speeds reached etc with a dim view being taken if the numbers look a bit edgy.
The end date for sale of new petrol engined cars has set and the future is likely some form of auto driven pod.
Top end classics are going to hold value regardless as art. Everything else surely takes a bath? Maybe not overnight but over a period there can't be a rosy residual future for all the current modern classics.
Time grows short.
