This was Goodwoods top 7 investment cars recently. As a Vanquish owner, I’m happy!
From the CLK63 AMG Black Series to the 997 GT3…

I was on a webinar with Tim Schofield head of car auctions at Bonhams. He thinks this downturn is short term, and the best longer term investments are 80’s 90’s and 00’s GT and sports cars as not too complicated to fix and are cars our gen grew up with and have good performance. Said Millennials have little interest in cars generally but zero interest in cars from before then that generally require loads of upkeep and have comparably poor performance. Says ultra complex recent supercars won’t be able to be fixed when their complex electronic systems break. Just his opinion but seems logical to me.
Interesting article, had me searching for a Superleggera!
My dilemma is, I 'could' have any one of those cars, but... I'd probably have to sell all my cars to get there.
First thing is, I hate selling cars, and to sell four privately is a major PITA.
Second, I'd be selling cars that aren't really shedding a lot of value, and fingers crossed, might go up (1991 500SL, Mk1 TT QS (with the Recaro Pole's), Exige V6, and GTS MC Shift).
So, accepting it's a first world problem, do I go large on one special car and save a load of money in tax and servicing? Or keep what I've got, enjoy the different experiences, spread the mileage, and maybe have net depreciation free motoring across all four?
I honestly don't know. Currently, four cars, plus my wife's Cayman S feels a little too many.
