"Oldtimers" - investment or money thrown at the wind

For the most part, classic cars are a terrible reminder that drum brakes ... work!? However, we can not deny that their visual pheromones and cultural connotations make them one of the most fascinating and alternative classes of assets. Adding to the fact that they provide a better return on traditional investments, you will not be impressed. According to the luxury investment index Knight Frank, for example, wine offers investors three percent return for 12 months. Watches, four percent. Coins, ten percent. And classic cars, how do you think? 28 per cent.

If we make a comparison with the DAX30, which represents the economic development of one of the cult countries for automotive enthusiasts - Germany, we will notice that Knight Frank is doing better times.

We are already aware of statistics and seem to be unshakable. Let's look at some suggestions for each pocket.

1. £5,000 + - Porsche Boxster 986

With a debut in 1996, Boxster is becoming a modern classic on its own. With its average engine, Porsche's smallest athlete will be able to give you the best in class for about £ 5,000. And if you just want to push her into the garage, you will certainly enjoy good long-term profitability.

2. £7,000- £10,000 - Fiat 500 (original)

Only two years ago the Fiat 500 first generation cost about 5,000 pounds, and now a similar spec is traded at around 7,000. Given the 20% yield, 7K is a bargain.

3. £15,000- £20,000 - Alfa Spider

Like the Fiat 500, this specimen traded around 10,000 pounds two to three years ago, and the price is now more than 20K.

4. £30,000 - £80,000 - BMW E46 M3 CS and CSL

No comment ... Trends for similar icons is Bullish!

5. £30,000 - £60,000 - Porsche 993 Carrera 2

In 2015, Carrera 2 traded around £ 45,000, and today Porsche will cost you at least 60K. Why? You will hardly see another turbocharged and air cooled vehicle, much less that approaching 300 km / h.

£60,000 - £80,000 - Mercedes SL W113 'Pagoda'

A year ago, the minimum investment for this model ranged between £ 45,050,000. Currently Bid is between 60 and 80,000 pounds, and fully restored specimens are traded above 110K. In fact, the price does not matter. As I mentioned above, the trend in the Germans is ascending.

7. £140,000- £200,000 - Jaguar E-type Series 1 FHC RHD

If we have to compare this model to the financial world, it may be the inverse ETF that is present in every portfolio. There is hardly a collector garage without E-Type 1. The increase in value in this model is slower but attractive is that no corrections are observed.

8. £300,000- £400,000 - Aston Martin V8 Vantage

The Aston Martin models are "more volatile" than the other classics I have listed above. Until one year ago, DB4, DB5 and DB6 are traded with a strong price increase, and now they are adjusting. What's modern among collectors at the moment is Vantage models, especially those with a V8 engine, reaching a cost of £ 400,000.

9. £500,000- £700,000 - Ferrari Daytona

"The last decade has shown that the price of Daytona easily marks new peaks, the values ​​were static last year, and the excellent cars are still around 650,000 pounds - a huge amount of money, but when a 275 Gtb worth 2 million pounds, there is no doubt that this is a top investment.

10.£1m + - Porsche 993 GT2

With its terrible reputation, thanks to the rear wheel drive, the 430hp turbocharger and the lack of any assistant assistants, the Porsche 993 GT2 has always been revered by hardcore enthusiasts. At auction RM Sotheby the car from the picture above reached a price of 1.8m. pounds at the desired 750,000.
