Classic cars of any make represent an investment these days. They are far more fun than leaving your money sitting in a savings account gaining little interest but, as with most investments, there may come a time when you need to 'cash-in' your investment due to the changes in life that most of us face.

Relationships, careers, families etc. all make us way-up our priorities when we need to find some cash and, often it's classic cars, which sit in the garage most of the time that have to go. I guess it's the younger owners that this effects the most. We are in a recession at the moment so it's understandable that there are a lot of classic cars for sale, especially the cheaper ones.

What a very good observation.:beer:

It is true that vehicles at the less expensive end of the vintage VW market are more often coming up for sale. It is also a fact that decent Split Windows, Cabrios and the Hebmullers are usually owned by the afluent and less likely to be sold to pay for day-to-day living costs in these difficult times.
