Classic cars, making a sound investment

While everyone is talking about the economic situation and areconcerned with the stocks and shares, it seems the smart money has always been in classic or rare cars.

This has never been more relevant while in economic hardships seen in previous years or decades. Many investors compare classic or rare, limited production models of cars a good example of a sound investment to that of gold, although in many cases performing better than gold. As when prosperity comes back into play and investors in classic or rare cars sell a car from their portfolio, they can often stand to make a very tidy sum of money.

For example a used Ferrari Dino 246 GT in 1980 was worth around £9,000, where as currently examples are fetching over £150,000. Recently a 1972 246GT with only 30,000 miles sold for £164,300 at Bonhams Goodwood.
