The market for classic cars has grown enormously in recent years. Certain makes and models score high in terms of resale value. When these cars were new – or a few years old – no one could possibly have predicted that they would now become such a coveted future classic.

Can one predict whether a new car will one day become a classic? It's not easy: it's a bit like investing in the stock market. You can win or lose.

However, there are now a number of makes and models that have significant “classic” potential and can now be purchased at a normal market value and can be seen as a long-term investment.

You have to take into account a number of "signals". An attractive styling, the rarity or number of copies built, a certain revolutionary technology: these are things that ensure that the value can rise quickly.

The advantage of these cars is that you don't have to put them away yet: you can perfectly drive them for a few more years, while the car is rising. Maintenance and repairs can be done quickly because the parts are usually readily available.

Many exhibitors at Techno Classica have a good nose for future classics and can advise you on this.
