Giardiniera

12 Ocak 2016 Salı

A few years ago it seemed that Giardiniera is experiencing a boom of vintage vehicles and classic cars. Even people very far from collectibles, pondered over the purchase of the "age" of the car weekend. Those who allowed the funds collected quite an impressive collection. This is despite the fact that cheap classic car was never. The most available traditionally were "Americans". A real "muscle car" in good condition could cost the owner approximately in two million roubles. "Europeans" traditionally cost considerably more expensive – here is an interesting machine started from four million. The peak of the market development can be considered 2013 in "Crocus Expo" took place the 21st Oldtimer-gallery of Ilya Sorokin. Recently in Moscow was held a large number of rallies targeted at owners of vintage cars.

Most of the races passes today, but the market situation has changed dramatically. And the reason is not only the crisis, although he has played here not last role. Alexander Bushuev, head of the body factory: "All sales and purchases, in my opinion, happen spontaneously – it's all about luck. In addition, the mentality of the countrymen they grew up with the dream of "Zhiguli". In Germany, for example, many collectors of trucks! Why? Yes, because they were privately owned, and people refer to them as my "children". While they have so many models and modifications of trucks and cars. And we have, unfortunately, no technical culture."

Customers bought the machine, not understanding the real level of their quality. As a result a lot of cars with motors inauthentic and aggregates, with poor or unknown restoration history. And now that the owners are trying to sell these cars in Russia or abroad, they will face a serious disappointment. Starting to understand the issue "after the fact", they find out such details as the number of original parts, legality of documents, and in the end get the idea about market value of the vehicle at the time of purchase.

Often these "discoveries" are presented with unpleasant surprises. Fedor Kazantsev, press Secretary of the Rally club of classic cars: "The 2015 season, which held the Rally club of classic cars, you can trace the trend: most of the cars that take part in competitions, continues to be of foreign manufacture. Only about 20-25% – "the Cossacks", "Muscovites", "Lada". The massive Soviet cars can be called equipment of Gorky automobile plant – "Volga" and "victory." We can talk about what the Soviet automobile industry in the garages of collectors getting bigger, in my opinion, for two reasons. The first is the classic "Lada" is "penny", "two" and "three" – come to that age when already considered a classic (30 years). Second, changes in the consciousness of car owners – they are more Giardiniera sensitive and respectful attitude to our history. This can be seen in an ordinary Moscow yards – vintage cars in good condition more and more.
