For those interested in the fascinating world of Classic Cars, whether collectors, operators from within the sector or simply enthusiasts, the 280 pages of news, data and images contained in The Key 2020 is simply indispensable.

The Key also presents other research carried out by its Market intelligence team including the study on the future of the 1000 Miglia.

If data and information are indispensable, so too is the larger part of the publication, a veritable book published annually, which deals with passion: from great raids to meetings with famous collectors such as Ralph Lauren, Nicola Bulgari, Fred Simeone and [Michael?] Kadoorie up to extraordinary models such as the Ferrari P4 and its magnificent images, the story of the revitalized Iso Rivolta, and the discovery of the latest archives from Bertone.

Finally, an in-depth journey to discover of the passionate TCCT program called eClassic and the two history-making simulators created by the great masters of automotive design: Pininfarina and Zagato. A gentle reminder for the new generations. And not only...
