When people hear “classic car”, they often picture chrome, tailfins and the 1960s. But the collection on DRIVESHARE is evolving, and so is the definition of iconic.
We’re seeing more and more modern classics coming onto the platform. Cars from the 80s, 90s and early 2000s that already feel collectible, analogue-era performance cars, early exotics and distinctive coupes and sedans that still deliver a memorable driving experience.
Iconic Doesn’t Mean Old
Iconic means distinctive. It means a car with presence, character and a story. It means something that stands apart in a world where many vehicles have become increasingly uniform.
As automotive design has shifted and technology has softened the driving experience, cars that still feel raw and engaging are becoming more desirable. We’re seeing growing interest in vehicles that sit in that sweet spot between “too new to be classic” and “already collectible”.
If you’ve ever assumed that another car in your garage might be too modern for DRIVESHARE, it may be time to think again.
A Quick Reminder on Insured Value
As we welcome more modern vehicles, one important clarification: when entering your insured value, please use the car’s realistic market value — what it would reasonably sell for today — not your insurance policy limit or coverage maximum.
Entering an accurate value helps us approve listings more quickly and ensures your vehicle is positioned correctly from the outset.
Why This Is the Right Moment
Spring is approaching and bookings for proms, weddings, events and photo shoots are already picking up. This is typically when distinctive cars — modern or classic — start to see stronger demand.
If you have a vehicle that turns heads, now is a good time to list it. If you already list one car but held back another because it felt “too new”, there may well be appetite for it.
