South Africa's classic and collector car market is thriving, says Kevin Derrick, CEO of South Africa's Creative Rides. And it's geared up for a robust performance this year.

Derrick noted the main drivers of this include evolving buyer preferences, technological advancements and the enduring appeal of iconic classics.

"South Africa tends to stay current with global trends. The collector car market in this country is closely aligned with international movements, particularly the growing interest in modern classics and Japanese sports cars.

"That said, the appeal of top-tier classics is perennial and those that also prove to be sound investments always whet buyer appetites."
