Celebrating Classic Car Events in 2021
Given the last 18 months, it’s great to see that we have now got some classic car events to look forward to after a number of events have been cancelled. From Lewis Hamilton’s recent triumph at the British Grand Prix, we are now looking ahead to a couple of prestigious classic and vintage car events in the late Summer.
Concours of Elegance
First up is Concours of Elegance, which takes place at Hampton Court Palace between 3-5 September. Some of the UK’s most prestigious automotive specialists will feature in a ‘Specialists Showcase’ allowing you to immerse yourself in some of the world’s rarest cars, in a totally indulgent day. And don’t forget, if you fancy making a purchase, you can rely on the enthusiastic team at Fast Car Finance to provide competitive prestige car finance to get you on the open road in your dream car.
If you are hoping to spot your dream car at Concours of Elegance, but not sure about prestige car finance arrangements, why not check out these incredible classic car examples to see the likely deposit and monthly repayments you’d be looking at if you were to make a purchase:
Aston Martin
If you want to channel your inner James Bond, this Aston Martin DB5 has an on the road price of £575,000 and would set you back £8,000 per month if you were able to put down a £225,000 deposit and secure a balloon payment of £250,000 for Aston Martin finance.
Alternatively, Fast Car Finance has also secured classic car financing for this stunning Aston Martin DB4 with a cash price of £495,000. This incredibly rare car is our company director’s pride and joy and he was able to enjoy it for just over £1,300 per month after putting down a £295,000 deposit and us putting a balloon of £200,000 on the agreement. Take a look to see how we structured his Aston Martin finance.
Jaguar
If you’re a fan of the classic Jaguars like Inspector Morse, David Beckham and HM The Queen then you can secure Jaguar finance by working with a specialist, independent prestige car finance specialist such as Fast Car Finance.
We secured car finance on this £65,000 1957 Jaguar XK150 for just over £1,100 per month, based on a deposit of £13,000 and a five year term (and no balloon payment at the end).
For a slightly higher on the road price but with a £21,600 balloon payment at the end of the 49 month term, the Jaguar E Type Roadster cost our managing director client £722 per month (with a £27,950 deposit).
Arranging Classic Car Finance
Prestige car finance for vehicles approaching 50 years old and beyond can be incredibly difficult to secure and if they have great investment potential, they can be in very high demand. Older classic/prestige cars will often increase in value so can make incredible investments – take inspiration from our prolific classic car collector and investor client. Before you head on down to the Concours of Elegance, you can get classic car financing agreed in principle. Here are 10 things to consider before buying a classic car.
Salon Privé
If Supercars are more up your street, why not head on over to Salon Privé at Blenheim Palace for their Classic and Supercar event on Sunday 5 September. There’s lots of information about the event which you can find on the Salon Prive Concours website.
Over the years, we have arranged supercar finance for a number of incredible cars, including:
