In Shifting Gears, Volume 1, Keith shares his insights and musings into an era when auctions were first shown on television and tired old racing cars became seven-figure collectibles.

Description

Keith’s “Shifting Gears” column never fails to inform and entertain. Reading this collection is like reliving one of the most exciting and turbulent eras in car collecting with an old friend. Don’t miss it. – Wayne Carini, acclaimed master car restorer and TV personality

Keith Martin, the consummate collector car insider, takes us along on a rollicking ride through the 90s, as the car market explodes, dips, realigns and readjusts… Sports Car Market’s panoply of artistic and photo covers over the years are worth the price of this book – but there’s so much more. Like the rest of us, Martin is hopelessly in love with old cars, which means he doesn’t always make the best decisions. If that sounds familiar, you’ll love reading “Shifting Gears.” – Ken Gross, award-winning journalist

Over the years, Keith Martin has tapped into the brain of all of us car enthusiasts. He has brought in the best writers to give the readers an inside look at the market. Keith’s talent, enthusiasm and leadership show through with every issue. – Bill Warner, Founder and Chairman of the Amelia Island Concours
