I think two things are going on with the rising demand of classic sports cars.

One is the guys and gals wanting to obtain the car of their youth, perhaps they owned one in the past and want another or always lusted after one and are now in a position to buy one.

The other may be that current offerings by manufacturers aren't cutting it. The few out there may lap the Nurburgring at blistering speeds but are overloaded with tech, weight and Govt. mandated styling that enthusiasts aren't interested in. Yes, there are plenty who want a new 992 (for example) but many more who want a simple, driver focused, light weight sports car that the auto makers are unable to build even if they wanted to. The MX-5 and BRZ may come close but not everyone likes the styling or wants the added tech. The screen sticking out of the dash on the MX-5 is a non starter for me personally.

So they turn to Bring a Trailer with a wide selection of makes and models.
