Hagerty has long promoted the enjoyment of car culture and driving, entertaining those who are a part of it and welcoming those who are curious to learn more about the industry.

Working in the classic and collector car market is a dream for many, but the opportunities to do so are few and far between.

Following the completion of an initial application form, selected applicants will be required to complete a selection of interesting tasks, including a video exercise and face to face interview.
