Wheeler Dealers host Mike Brewer has urged classic car fans looking to buy a historic vehicle should follow two pieces of advice this November.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to the TV star, the classic car market is primed for activity after a recent drop in prices.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Data from Hagerty shows sell-through rates were \u201csignificantly down\u201d this summer with expensive models having dropped in value.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Express.co.uk, Mr Brewer sent a simple message to those looking to dip their toes in the market this winter.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cIt\u2019s a really good time to get one, they dropped in price recently and they will go back up as we move towards a fuel-free future, so it\u2019s a good time.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFill your library before you fill your garage. So gather as much information as possible you can about the area you are targeting or are interested in.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThat goes as far as joining the owners club of the car you are interested in.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you’re interested in buying a Ford Escort Cosworth, for the sake of half a tank of fuel just join the owners club first even though you don’t have a car.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey will give you the information so you will be armed with information and you are more likely to find the car that you’re looking for advertised within the club.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, data from The Classic Valuer shows average prices for historic vehicles are up from previous years.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Fees are up 22.5 percent from a year ago and 29 percent than data collected back in 2018.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This has left average prices standing at \u00a327,270, up from the rough \u00a322,256 price tag back in 2022.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Secondly, Mr Brewer has urged owners to get stuck into their new models even if they have little engineering skills.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Mr Brewer added: \u201cDon\u2019t be scared. Cars are complicated machines but fundamentally they are quite simple if you bear it down.\u00a0<\/p>\n
