The roots of Forest Hill are deep and stretch back to 1793 when it was part of the York Township. Unlike today, Forest Hill served as cottage country with only two homes (cottage homes, to be exact) populated at various times by immigrants, farmers and British veterans of the infamous War of 1812.

Miles NAdal ENTREPRENEUR, PHILANTHROPIST AND CAR COLLECTOR By: Natalka Falcomer Photography by: Michael Furman & Jordan Lenssen

Visitors to the pristine and contemporary headquarters of Peerage Capital Group immediately get the sense they are somewhere special. Imagine this as your office: a modern open space covered by some of the rarest and most coveted automobiles in the world.

This is the office of Peerage Capital, founded by Miles Nadal, and appropriately named, The Dare to Dream Garage. It is an office space within a car museum that matches Miles’ personal aesthetic. Every detail has purpose, every corner is expertly polished and curated, and every car is best-in-class.

aving earned his success in the eat-or-be-eaten competitive marketing and communications industry, Miles Nadal is a decorated award winner and icon in the business community. He is best known as a self-starter whose business acumen has led to a life now dedicated to giving back. Miles champions Canadian entrepreneurs who demonstrate perseverance, vision and drive. He also supports numerous charitable projects dedicated to health, education and children’s welfare. Miles Nadal personifies Winston Churchill’s quote, “we make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.”

H

One of Miles’ favourite quotes is Bill Parcells’, “You are what your record says you are,” and Miles’ record is impressive. He and his partners have developed many successful businesses such as, D+H, MDC Partners, First Asset Management,

Optus, Artemis Investment Management, Peerage Realty Partners, and Peerage Capital, with operations exceeding $7 billion dollars of enterprise value over the course of 38 years.

To say Miles Nadal is a busy man is an understatement.

He is Founder, Chairman and CEO of Peerage Capital Group, a growing Canadian company that partners with businesses in industries such as real estate services, real estate investment and management, financial services and specialty business services. Additionally, Miles is actively engaged with several charities in North America and Israel, where he travels at least twice a year. He’s also a devoted family man and father to four young women.

In early August, I was lucky enough to visit with Miles to learn more about how he came to be the man we know today and to learn about his vision for the future.

The Dare to Dream Garage is a private facility and therefore not open to the public.

Q: When and how did Chestnut Park Real Estate become part of Peerage Realty?

A: When I met Catherine Deluce and Chris Kapches about 12 years ago, I really liked the Chestnut Park story. The brokerage was clearly successful, and I admired the reasons for their success. For example, I saw that the management team truly supported their agents and that this meant that the agents were empowered to ensure that every transaction was the beginning or continuation of a wonderful relationship.

Futhermore, I admired Chestnut Park’s deep commitment to giving back to the community.

Q: How has Chestnut Park evolved since it joined Peerage Realty?

A: Chestnut Park is always evolving in order to deliver premium service to its agents and their clients. During our partnership, Chestnut Park has expanded its footprint to Prince Edward County, Collingwood, and to its second home in Toronto, Forest Hill.

We’re building a beautiful new office in Port Carling, Muskoka.

feature Q: You spoke about Chestnut Park giving back, why is this so important to you?

A: I attended summer camp because of donations from the Jewish community. This experience made giving back important to me. Not only is making a difference in the world a critical motivator for me, but it’s also critical to the culture and DNA of all the organizations I’m involved with.

of every Peerage partnership. When the Bloor Street Jewish Community Centre (now the Miles Nadal JCC) was looking to expand, I contributed the keystone gift to provide the opportunity for future generations to enjoy this wonderful institution.

Q: Are your children active philanthropists?

A: My girls were the first members of Leadership Sinai, a program I created to inspire young professionals to engage in philanthropy from an early age. I don’t believe that philanthropy is only about writing a cheque. There are lots of ways you can contribute and I taught them this through my rule of three: contribution of time, talent and treasure. My hope for the girls is that they will carry the torch for me, and that the Nadal legacy will be giving back.

Q: Knowing philanthropy is very important to you, what are some of your favourite causes?

A: It’s impossible to pick a favourite, as the needs are so high everywhere. My more recent contributions have been in Israel and Toronto. In March of 2017, I cut the ribbon to the Miles Nadal Home for Technological Innovation and Entrepreneurship at Tel Aviv University in Israel and in April of this year, we opened the Miles Nadal Heart Centre at Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto. I am very proud of the Sinai contribution — I have met with many of the patients and their stories are inspiring and humbling.

Q: Dare To Dream isn’t just your business philosophy, it’s also what you’ve named your collection of cars. Can you tell me about how that started?

A: My first car was a 1980 Grand Prix outfitted with navy blue velour seats and a car phone. Over the years I purchased more and had started a modest collection of 10 that I enjoyed driving. In 2013, I had the good fortune of meeting Jay Leno. Jay has an incredible, world-class collection which he invited me to see, and that was it. I came home from L.A. and announced that we would begin collecting cars and we grew this collection in five years.

A hundred years from now it will not matter what my bank account was, the sort of house I lived in, or the kind of car I drove, but the world may be different because I was important in the life of a child.

- Forest E. Witcraft, Miles' favourite quote The Miles Nadal Heart Centre, Mount Sinai Hospital, Toronto In April 2018, Miles donated a landmark gift to Mount Sinai Hospital’s specialized cardiology program. The Miles Nadal Heart Centre is a destination cardiology centre in the GTA with clinical and research programs dedicated to distinct patient populations, such as women with heart disease who are pregnant or wishing to become pregnant; advancedstage heart failure patients with support devices or awaiting heart transplantation; and patients with sleep apnea and breathlessness. Additionally, the Centre houses Canada’s only research-dedicated cardiac catheterization lab.

The Miles & Kelly Nadal Youth Centre, toronto In April 2011, the Miles and Kelly Nadal Youth Centre was established to provide a dedicated after-school facility for at-risk children in Regent Park and Downtown East, Toronto. Miles’ ongoing commitment to this club at the heart of a vulnerable community enables it to continue to operate the creative and innovative programs that address and meet the changing needs of the community it serves.

YAD VASHEM | The Miles S. Nadal and Family Wall, Israel Established in 1953, Yad Yashem is Israel’s official memorial to the victims of the Holocaust.

THE MILES NADAL JEWISH COMMUNITY CENTRE, TORONTO In 2004, Miles provided a keystone gift that enabled the building of a brand new centre for the community at Toronto’s Bloor Street Jewish Community Centre. Thanks to his support, it now boasts a 3,800 member state-of-the-art fitness centre, a 285-seat theatre, four schools, three choirs, and a wide range of arts and cultural activities, along with Jewish life programming, and a robust Active 55+ program for over 2600 active members.

The Miles S. Nadal Institute for Technological Entrepreneurship, TEL AVIV UNIVERSITY, Israel In 2012, determined to help ensure that more lab breakthroughs make their way into the real world and improve quality of life, The Miles S.

Creating A Home To Love A guide for dodging the trends and creating lasting beauty

w

hen I moved into my first apartment, I promptly painted over the dated wall colour with a shade I thought I would love forever. Except once I was done, new colours were introduced in all the paint collections. The new colours looked so fresh and unexpected. By the time I had completed my décor, the rest of the design world had moved on and I was left in a room that quickly looked like I didn’t get the memo.

I was chasing after the trends and shouldn’t have been surprised that, as a result, I was falling behind. It seemed like I was on a treadmill that wouldn’t stop, chasing after looks I had seen and fallen in love with momentarily – can you relate? If your answer is yes, you’re probably thinking, “What to do then?” I believe the answer is to design around what YOU love.

Great ways to develop YOUR style Invest well Spend your budget wisely. Invest in fewer, better quality pieces. A sofa, for example, should give you quite a few years of enjoyment if the piece is well-made, the textile is graded for good wear-ability, and has stain resistance. Pick a neutral colour that works well for you. Use your artwork or rug for colour cues, and pieces that you already love that will guide you best.

Develop a plan It is easy to be swayed by what you see in the stores and seduced into a selection that unravels your entire colour scheme. Collect inspiration in the form of images and samples from selections you have already made. They will keep you on the right path when you are looking for that perfect piece to complete your room.

Take cues from what you love to wear Do you, for example, lean toward tailored clean lines? Then look for that in your décor.

Upholstered pieces and window treatments can all reinforce your style when selected with a disciplined eye. By figuring out whether you prefer a look that is more tailored or romantic, sleek, edgy, industrial, architectural, or whatever you feel “your look” is, you will be able to define a cohesive look and one that is driven by your taste.

Think style not fashion What looks do you always find pleasing? Nature, for example, never goes out of style. But a stylized art nouveau leaf motif would be different than a mid-century interpretation, so think about style and the look you want. This “big picture” thinking will keep you on the right path.

Add personality – yours!

I’m sure you have seen photos of a room that didn’t look like anyone actually lived there...like it was fresh out of the showroom. To avoid the space looking like it lacks personality, bring in pieces that reflect who YOU are and what YOU love. It can be small pieces picked up on travels, collected on a side table, or pieces of locally purchased art. These additions tell stories in your space, making them timeless.

Use meaningful art Show off your personal photos, mementos, and anything that evokes those warm and cherished memories. You don’t have to be a world class photographer. If you’ve been on a trip, consider purchasing art or professional photos that remind you of your travels.

Start small Thoughtfully choose the pieces that truly bring you joy. Then edit, edit, edit.

Be ruthless. Display and enjoy YOUR treasures. What good are they packed away in a box?

The V&A Dundee highlights Scotland’s design heritage and celebrates art and design from around the world. With its curving concrete walls, the building is a striking feat of design itself, intended by the architect to act as a kind of urban ‘living room’ for socializing and learning.

She’s volunteered for over four years (and counting) to arm the public with free legal knowledge as the founder, co-producer and host of a legal call-in-show with Rogers TV (Toronto Speaks Legal Advice).

The Evolution of Condo Living Is it a Bubble Dictated by Demographics?

"Nothing denotes more greatly a nation’s advancement in civilization than the ornate and improved style of its architecture and the erection of private palatial residences,” the New York Times, commented, on the exorbitant cost of purchasing homes in New York city and the rise of apartment buildings – in 1869.

Why some choose condos over mansions The reason we live in such close proximity in cities, and in condos in particular, is not because of some innate desire, but because we’re compelled by necessity. Access to jobs, potential mates and food is easier in the heart of Toronto rather than in Kirkland Lake, for example. Proponents of the “stacked living/condo living is unnatural and the market will crash” belief, rationalize their position by pointing to the absence of condo living in the past. The problem is, they’re wrong on this point. History says so.

Stacked living reaches way back to ancient Rome and China. In Rome, people lived above their shops and, in parts of China, certain tribes lived in multi-storey tulous.

Living in tight quarters or “stacked” homes was desirable because families could share child rearing burdens and exchange goods and services. It also yielded greater protection – it’s easier to defend as a group, rather than

as an individual, when attacked. But it was not until New York architects cajoled the respectable New Yorkers out of their expansive mansions into luxurious brownstones that condo living became fashionable…and profitable.

When did it become trendy to live in a condo?

The Dakota, built in the 1880s, was one of the first luxury apartment buildings in New York that remains standing (The Dakota: A History of the World’s BestKnown Apartment Building). It’s now one of the most coveted places to live for tech billionaires and famous pop icons. Located on the Upper West Side, the Dakota enticed New Yorkers from their sprawling mansions to these apartments with 14-foot ceilings, modern kitchens, elevators, sequestered courtyards, and accommodations for servants. While this “stacked living” endeavour was successful, it took decades for New Yorkers to accept such living. >

and numerous amenities such as a pool, sauna, gym, designated offices and “flex space” that encourages community and that can be shared by families. Just like our ancient Roman counterparts, we’re also demanding to live on top of shops that provide us our living necessities: specialty foods, indy coffee shops and clothing stores. And, we’re getting what we want. Simply walk down King Street West or a Collingwood condo complex for evidence.

Condo units, and not just the complex, are also changing.

No longer are micro-condos the rage. Now it’s all about large ceilings, atriums and space for lounging with family One early advocate of “stacked living” was Calvert Vaux,

disrupt the social fabric of society. It was customary to make a very public show when visiting a neighbour – you got dressed up, travelled in your decorated carriage to the home, parked out front and then had to enter by knocking on an imposing front door. Often, given the size of the home, you would wait before being greeted with a drink.

Apartments, on the other hand, offered hidden entryways and easy ways to “house hop” free from nosy neighbours.

maximum efficiency for families. While condos do permit more efficient and (sometimes) environmentally friendlier living, naysaying New Yorkers also had it right: skyscrapers do block out sunlight and can look ugly. What is more, if the number of necessary service providers - namely hospitals and schools - aren’t also increased alongside and with our increase in housing, then we may end up like overcrowded rats fighting for scarce resources.

If you live in any of the skyscrapers in Toronto, no doubt you’ve witnessed such house hopping every Saturday night.

Similar to contemporary critics of condo living in Toronto, New Yorkers in the late 20th century also criticized the impacts their apartment buildings would have on the vistas. The closely connected homes destroyed the natural topography of New York, blocked light and were simply ugly. Sound familiar? Toronto’s condo-critics espouse the same concerns (although, in this writer’s opinion, some of these criticisms are much more justified). Elite society New Yorkers hoped that the stacked living fad was just that – a fad. It’s clear that these condo opponents, similar to Toronto’s condo opponents, were wrong.

Condos: A Permanent Urban Fixture for Permanent Living Condos are no longer a temporary home for singles and downsizers. They’re reverting to what they were intended to be thousands of years ago: a permanent living solution for families. This is captured not only in developers’ marketing materials, but is also evidenced in how condos are built. For example, outside space is important to families. Accordingly, new developments now place greater emphasis on outdoor space and shared facilities.

The legalization of the condominium

Boomers put pressure on housing

Condos earn a bad reputation

Condo boom and bust

Governments scramble to deal with the affordable housing crisis.

The solution: legalizing the ability to own a suite and then pay fees to maintain the common areas. Clearly, this did not work.

The affordable housing crisis accelerates as boomers, now in their coupling stage, look for homes close to work. The solution governments offer costs tax payers millions in the form of developer subsidies.

Haphazard buildings shoot up, earning condos the reputation of “the poor man’s solution.”

Sales collapse.

Given the poor reputation of condos, Mayor of Toronto David Crombie implements a two-year moratorium on new buildings that soar more than 40 feet in the downtown core.

Sales continue to slide and developers start using sales gimmicks to stimulate growth: one developer offers to pay any hikes to hydro, heating and property taxes until 1980.

The economy is booming and the era of delirious optimism and excess has begun: "Vacant lots all over downtown Toronto are sprouting condominiums of late [...]

No sooner has one of the glamorous edifices begun to climb the Toronto skyline than the sold out sign is posted, and the next development announced" (The Globe).

Finally, in 1989, the party comes to an end.

The birth of the loft

Luxury hotel-condos are the new fad

The global financing crisis

Millennials change the condo market

Condos lose the “shabby” reputation

A brief housing blip puts a hold on the condo buying frenzy. The most notable project hit by the crisis is the Lehman Brothers’- backed Kazakhstan-based Bazis International's condo at 1 Bloor East. Newspapers scream gloom and doom and pronounce the demise of Toronto’s overheated condo market.

The lack of twobedroom condos spurs concern, as grown up millennials demand larger units to accommodate families with kids. Critics claim that the 10% increase in condo prices is “insane.”

Sales cool for a short period, which proves to be a blip, as the decade breaks pricing and volume records despite government efforts to cool the market.

Condo prices continue to soar and the who’s who of Toronto buy up condos, making condos a permanent highly desirable fixture in Toronto’s skyline.

Sales records shatter as millennials, immigrants and downsizers demand the convenience of condo living. Condos, boasting million-dollar sale prices, earn a new reputation as a solid investment and a mark of luxury. IIS

Toronto’s Condo Development Timeline

49,503 new units pop up in Toronto, but with few buyers in the early part of the decade. Prices shrink by 30% from the 80s boom and owners, attempting to avoid losses, decide to rent out their units instead of sell. Restrictions on development, coupled with an increase in demand to live in the downtown core, and the closing of downtown factories, gave rise to Toronto’s first “hard loft.”

The late 90s saw a revival of the luxury condo market. The taste for luxury continues into the 2000s as five-star hotel-condos become the “must have investment.”

Toronto sees its largest residential development, CityPlace, break ground and many of the promising luxury hotelcondo investments, such as the Trump Towers, become embroiled in lawsuits.

Michael Crummey St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador Writers’ Trust Fellow 2015

"Of the cacophony of voices carrying across the wind from Newfoundland and Labrador in recent years, none is so vibrant, so perceptive, and so damn fun, as that of Michael Crummey."

Michael Crummey is a poet and novelist from the East Coast. A celebrated poet with eight collections to his name, including Hard Light, Salvage, and Under the Keel, Crummey published his first work of fiction, River Thieves, in 2002 and subsequently penned the novels The Wreckage and Galore. His latest novel, Sweetland, was nominated for a Governor General's Literary Award. Keep an eye out for his next book The Blinder, in stores in fall 2019.

Moses Sweetland remembers when the fish were plentiful around his remote island home in Newfoundland. Now his community is facing resettlement, and each family has been offered a generous compensation package to leave. But the money is offered with a proviso: everyone has to go; the government won't be responsible for one crazy coot who chooses to stay alone on an island. Read what happens when, motivated in part by a sense of history and belonging, Moses refuses to leave.

Miriam Toews Toronto, Ontario Writers’ Trust Fellow 2016

"Miriam Toews is prolific, an indispensable voice, one of the greatest writers this country has ever produced."

Miriam Toews was born and raised in the Mennonite town of Steinbach, Manitoba.

Her debut novel A Complicated Kindness, won the 2004 Governor General's Literary Award for fiction. She is the author of seven novels and one work of nonfiction, including Swing Low: A Life, The Flying Troutmans, Irma Voth, and All My Puny Sorrows. Her latest work, Women Talking, was published in summer 2018.

Eight women — ordinary grandmothers, mothers, and teenagers — climb into the hayloft of a barn to make a life-altering choice on behalf of all the women and children in their community. August Epp, like the women, is a traditional Mennonite, and he has been asked to record the secret conversation. As we gradually hear the women's vivid voices console, tease, admonish, regale and debate each other, we piece together the reason for the gathering. And like a vast night sky coming into view behind the bright sparks of their voices, we learn of the devastating events that have led to this moment.

Eden Robinson Kitimat, British Columbia Writers’ Trust Fellow 2017

" With razor-sharp precision, madcap humour, and a preternatural gift for dialogue, Eden Robinson brings a fresh and fearless perspective to the literature of this land " Eden Robinson is a novelist and short fiction writer from the Haisla and Heiltsuk First Nations. Her first book was a collection of four short stories, entitled Traplines. Her first novel, Monkey Beach was shortlisted for the Giller Prize and a Governor General’s Literary Award.

Her recent novel, Son of a Trickster, is the first volume in a planned trilogy. The second installment, Trickster Drift, hits the bookstore shelves in October 2018.

In an effort to keep all forms of magic at bay, 17-year-old Jared has quit drugs and drinking— no thanks to his enabling, ever-partying mom, Maggie. But his troubles are not over: he's got to get his grades up, find a job that doesn't involve weed cookies, and somehow live peacefully with his Aunt Mave in Vancouver. Not to mention he’s being stalked by his mom's ex. Even though Maggie is a living, breathing badass as well as a witch, she just can't protect Jared like she used to. When the situation turns to crisis, Jared quickly learns that as the son of a Trickster, he will always be a magnet for magic — whether he hates it or not.

But back on the ground Toronto is known as the city of neighbourhoods, like lakefront Beaches, historic Chinatown and Little Italy. Year-round festivals celebrate the city’s diversity and hospitality.

Toronto’s many galleries and museums, especially The AGO and The ROM, are renowned for their stunning architectural presence – and for how long guests want to spend inside. Residents and visitors enjoy world-class theatre and concerts, and crowds fill the Scotiabank Arena, Rogers Centre and BMO Field to cheer on their favourite local and international teams.

The city’s downtown core boasts everything from distinctive boutique experiences to trendy fashions, and a dazzling assortment of traditional and innovative restaurants. Throughout the urban centre, tree-lined streets, expansive parks and green ravines are enjoyed year-round for morning runs, leisurely strolls and family outings.

Matt Driscoll is a freelance writer based out of Bracebridge, Ontario. He was a former editor with Muskoka Magazine and former photojournalist with the Bracebridge Examiner and Sioux Lookout Bulletin.Matt worked for several years in the museums field, both in Canada and internationally, before moving into full-time journalism more than a decade ago.

History comes to life on Muskoka’s waterways

ike the windswept pine or the iconic Muskoka chair, few things conjure up the image of the Muskoka region like the area’s historic steamships. Despite being constructed more than a century ago, some of those watercraft continue to ply the waters of the region to this day.

L

Perhaps the most iconic of the steamships is the RMS Segwun, which still offers regular cruises to the public from its home port at the Muskoka Wharf in Gravenhurst.

The Segwun was constructed in 1887 in Glasgow, Scotland, before being shipped across the Atlantic and re-assembled in Gravenhurst.

The oldest operating mail steamship in North America, the Segwun holds just under 100 people. It burns through roughly

250 tons of coal (imported from Seward, Pennsylvania) during a sailing season of just under five months.

The craft was originally used as a side paddlewheel steamer and sailed under the name of Nipissing II. She was primarily used to transport people, freight and mail from her home port at the Muskoka Wharf to locations throughout the Muskoka lakes, including the resorts which were beginning to proliferate in the region at the time.

Upgraded with new engines following the First World War, the ship was re-named Segwun - the Ojibwa word for “spring”.

As the road system in Muskoka improved over the years, the mail was increasingly delivered by land routes. By the 1960s, the Segwun was decommissioned and became a floating maritime museum at the Gravenhurst Wharf. >

DRIVE TIME: HOW to COLLECT CLASSIC CARS The top collector-car competition in the world, the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance creates a buzz in the world of classic automobiles. Here’s our 10-step guide to buying vintage vehicles.

Content provided by Christie’s International Real Estate

With classic cars selling at anywhere between $5,000 and $25,000,000 plus, starting a collection takes time, patience, and knowledge. Whether you’re looking for an iconic Aston Martin DB5, or a slinky pre-war racer, it’s important to seek expert advice.

Miles Morris, co-owner of Morris & Welford, LLC, historic car consultants and brokers, has nearly 30 years’ experience in the classic car world, and has been on the selection committee and a judge at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, one of the leading car shows in the world, for more than 10 years.

“Collectors are invariably drawn to elegance, that something special about the build and body,” Morris says. He reveals how to start a classic car collection.

1. Starting position “There are a number of ways to go about finding your first classic car. First, think about what you are intending to do with it, and what your budget is. Then decide what models you like. There are wonderful car clubs around the world for almost every model and they will be a great resource. Once you’ve decided on a model you like, you then have to find the car. That could be through advertising online or in specialist magazines, through a specialist dealer or auction house, or through a broker like myself.”

Aston Martin DB5 Driven by Sean Connery as James Bond, this is perhaps one of the most well-known cars in the world.

2. How to spot a true classic Commercial director for Aston Martin Works, Paul Spires, advises: “The current buzz in the classic car market generally is around originality and authenticity. There are many cars that have been rebuilt to represent a model it was not originally, which can catch out buyers. The best guidance is to seek out expert advice before making any substantial purchase.”

Morris continues: “With a lot of the prestigious/classic pre-war cars, when purchased new, you wouldn’t just buy the car, you would choose the coach builder, who would then make the body for you, too. Coach-built cars were very refined: although they had many designs you could change it and alter it for your own preference, though this became a dying art after the war. You can spot one by looking for the coach builder’s plate on the door sill or a body tag on the side of the car, and the person selling the car will happily emphasize the rarity of the model.”

3. Educate to accumulate “A lot of collectors collect only a couple of cars. The key is to educate yourself, do your research and make sure the car you are buying has been well looked after and is the finest example you can find for your budget. New car collectors can be a bit scattergun at first then, after a year or two of meeting other people and attending different shows, start to change their minds. They will then need to sell the less important cars in their collection to concentrate on the better examples.”

Price range: $1.1 million-$1.4 million. Photography: Morris & Welford, LLC

4. Money talks “For some of the smaller Alfa Romeos you can expect to pay around $50,000 while a $100,000 budget should get you something like a 1960s Austin Healey. Some of the 911 Porsches have become extremely valuable and the most desirable, such as the 1973 911 RS, can go up to $700,000, with some of the rarest Lightweight versions selling for over $1,000,000 in recent years. As they were built primarily for racing, only a small number were made, making them instant classics.”

5. Unique, rare, limited editions “Look out for manufacturers that only produced a few cars of a particular model. That’s where it gets really exciting. Ferrari produced just 10 275 GTB NART Spyders, one of which sold for $27.5 million in 2013. That’s an extremely rare car and very near the top of the food chain in Ferrari collecting.”

6. Try before you buy “When I look at a car I check all around it, under it, at the door gaps, and throughout for originality and authenticity. And make sure you drive it. Do the gears change properly? Does it accelerate properly?

Is it misfiring? Are the brakes working properly? Does the suspension feel right? If things are wrong, it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t buy the car, but it gives you an idea of what work you might have to do.”

7. Purchasing power “Don’t pay the first price. Most people build a little bit of negotiating room into their asking price, so invariably there’s bargaining to be done. Auctions can be very good for the buyer, but consider that you won’t be able to go for a test drive and it’s difficult to examine the car properly. Instead check the history and documentation very carefully or seek advice from a specialist or club that really knows the model.”

8. Specialist insurance “I recommend a specialist company that only does classic car insurance, like Hagerty. Classic car insurance is actually relatively affordable and the insurance for an $80,000 car would probably be under $700 a year. The risk is quite low because classic cars are not driven every day and are extremely well looked after by the owners.”

9. Hit the road in style “Classic cars aren’t just to be looked at. They should be exercised on a fairly regular basis. Although you can use these cars for everyday tasks, others are not all that practical for modern roads and can overheat if stuck in traffic, so choose where you’re going to drive it wisely. But do drive it. That’s part of the fun.”

10. Care and attention “As long as you are keeping an eye on your cars and starting them up every so often they will generally be fine – once you’ve got them in good working condition they don’t need too much extra maintenance. Modern fuel, with its ethanol content, is not very kind to classic cars as left static it goes off and turns to jelly, which can block the fuel line and cause problems with the carburetor, so it’s best to keep them moving.

“Have fun and enjoy it. Classic car ownership is a wonderful hobby, and attracts an extremely friendly group of like-minded people.”
