Purely as an investment...

A house in Bolton?

Corrected for you.

 

[bigbob]

Corrected for you.

I got the impression that Ewan was politely saying he has already done that. He forgot to mention that he already has a Silver Spirit, driver, cigars and camel overcoat for his Friday trips up noorth for rent collection.

Cayman R
Any Exige and early Elise 111s
Boxster Spyder (although it's creeping out of budget already)
Aston V8 Vantage S
M2 Competition (manual)
R8 v8 manual
E63s AMG wagon
Alpina B5 wagon
Aston Virage (the modern one)
Gallardo manual (a bit more money though)

And I want to say MC Stradale.

2 more alfas.

Guilia quadrifoglio, they will be gone soon. I think will be viewed in the future as the ultimate ICE sports saloon.
60’s/70’s guilias too.

I’ll hang onto my recently acquired Lotus Elan S3. I’ve only had it for two months and already been offered three grand more than I paid for it.

The poster wishes to advise that he does not believe this Porsche 356 to be manufactured in .999 finess investment grade gold but suggests it’s value would of course increase in future accordingly if it was.

That must be out of budget though. They are amazing looking but a good one is a 100k car.

The car is but it’s potential material of manufacture isn’t.

 

[Nayf]

so an Evora 410?

Perhaps some way south to go before it hits a threshold and rises again.

 

[Nayf]

Nayf, surprised you didn’t mention the 147GTA! Surprised I didn’t either!
60k for a Clio Williams? Silly money for V6 clios too, I’d rather have the GTA over both of those.

Well, they’re not £45k and the market is being held back by Japanese Selespeeds that sit unsold for literal years.
Then again Monza Sport Tuning has one at £20k, so who knows.
I’d suggest the 156 to increase quicker as there are fewer of them and fewer with low miles and good condition. They sold more 147s.

 

[DLax69]

Did they get the GTA and V6 Clio in the US? Could be one for the 25 year import effect.

Not so much.

I'd echo the 3200, but you all know that I want one, and there's no need to run the price up until I have one first.

Renault Alpine

+1 for the Alpine.

I had the Alfa 4C which was great but I think the Alpine is better built/resolved and should be reflected down the road.

Also you can buy new and tick this box 1-owner, delivery miles.

 

[HenrysDad]

Surely one should go for what was on people walls in the 1990s so on that basis I would recommend. Nissan GTR or as this is an Italian leaning forum Lancia Delta Integrale if you can find one at the right price.

I had damp, flaky paint, and crumbling plaster on my walls in the 90’s, that sort of aligns with a lancia.

The problem maybe with the GTR and Alpine is that the are making decent numbers of both. Investment value is often linked to relative rarity which neither qualify for. I know I mentioned a couple of cars which may suffer the same fate upon reflection.

For example, there are only 1421 Porsche Cayman R worldwide which compares to over 40,000 Nissan GTRs. That's a massive difference. There are now over 12,000 Alpine A110s out there and counting.

There are 1911 Aston V8 Vantage S coupes and 825 roadsters. Low numbers. For Mr @Felonious Crud there are 1277 V12 Vantage S coupes and 363 roadsters, oddly they made less on the non-S versions.

There are 9195 Alfa 4c variants out there.

So, to summarise, with 45k or so to spend, I think I'd buy a Cayman R. It's the first aggresive Cayman and so has a place in a significant market of Porsche enthusiasts. A much bigger market than almost all other brands. Supply vs Demand.

The R is also a fantastic car. Leaps and bounds ahead of the slightly… sanitised… S
