You’ve bought the classic car, a big new set of tools, the t-shirt and the cap. Now what? The car you’ve bought is not only something for you to enjoy driving, or look at admiringly, it’s also a possible ticket into a big new community, via car clubs.

Joining a car club could see you meeting new people with a shared interest, attending swap meets, going on road trips, attending and exhibiting in car shows, and so many more social and educational opportunities.

Car clubs are also a great source of the word on where to source that hard-to-find part or car manual, the best restorers and repairers for your make or model, or to simply to extend your knowledge of the mechanicals and history of your car.
