a good nose for future classics
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.
