Great Britain becomes Great again. Elfyn Evans becomes the first British driver to win Rally Sweden.
After leading Rally Sweden from start to finish, Elfyn makes history for Great Britain.
Despite some very challenging conditions that were similar to the 1992 event, with very little snow and a great deal of exposed gravel, the tungsten-studded tyres were able to withstand the additional heat and loadings, allowing Elfyn to re-write the record books.

UP 510% in 30 months.........The UR Quattro has now finally topped out, and will see no more growth
Even though Quattro's have now stopped growing, the earnings are still very strong......all the way to $112,000.
Where else can one achieve over 500% on you're money in 3 years !. We have had several of these gamechanging cars, as they were available in relative abundance 30 months ago for £12,000. Now they are over £55,000 (AU$112,000), and despite the fact that this car is the rarer twin cam RR version, it is offset by the higher mileage. Invest with us now and make serious money.
490 % rise in value over 24 months for the lovely M100. This one sold for $47,300.
The Lotus Elan M100 took a liitle time to satisfy our Collector friends, although it is now firmly on the radar.
Despite being departing from the traditional Lotus roots, these great cars that were available in truck loads for under AU$10,000 until recently, are actually huge fun to drive, as everyone is now discovering......... This one did have especially low mileage, although will still set the high water mark for these previously unloved cars.

Thank you so much for all the praise in 2019.
Our Investors have seen gains of 14-32% in the values of their cars, with some seeing much greater returns (56% plus).
We thank you for all of the praise throughout 2019, in achieving such massive gains for so many of you.
As usual, we purchased ahead of the rise that we knew was coming (2018), and then talked about them AFTER they had achieved their massive gains. That said, three of our purchases from 2018 stood out this year, as our gains were JUST OUTSTANDING. We posted News Items on these cars on March the 11th (Supra JZA80), March the 12th (850 Csi), August the 6th (Type R Integra), and now even Hagerty in the good old U.S.A (where growth has been stagnant) have seen fit to agree with our purchases from 2017 and 2018 that will now TOP OUT and stop growing..........

"Rental Properties are a terrible investment" says the manager of $22 Million of investor funds
As we have always said, Investment in assets that are globally transferrable is WAY smarter than being tied to one market.
Additionally, being part of an asset class where the intellectual property is everything limits the oppurtunities for outsiders to muddy the waters.There are so many reasons why we choose the right Collectible Cars, that ALWAYS rise in value by very significant margins .........
