Everyone knows how great the Lotus Sunbeam was....now GQ Magazine explores how GMP made use of them.
The myth of these great cars has always lived on, although not so much has been written about them.
Anyone that has had an interest in either Rallying or Racing would know these cars well, as they were prominent in the late1970's and 1980's. with such greats as Russell Brookes and Tony Pond behind the wheel.
UP 20% for one of our Collectible Cars, with others up 33% on 2020, such as the Range Rover LSE.
The boom in the values of our Investment Cars continues...............
As reported on page 17 of the March, 2021 issue of Thoroughbred and Classic Cars, all of our cars have risen in value yet again, galvanising the fact that we are in a Boom once again. Whilst much of Russ's report relates to the United Kingdom market, values have actually risen much more significantly in Australia. As we all know, the secret with Collectible Car Investing is to purchase WELL BEFORE the rise begins, which is why we purchase cars for our Investors 6-9 months before they hit the news.
Whilst it is interesting to see that other variations of Range Rover have now seen value gains, the usual drop from several cars with famous badges has contnued as we have predicted many, many times, which is why we move them on well BEFORE they drop. Here are the statistics over the past 3 months, as reported in the magazine :

BMW 633/628 Csi Up 20%
Fiat 130 Coupe Up 15%
Range Rover 4.2 LSE Up 33%

Unique Cars Magazine report on the soaring prices of Collectible Cars
This news item from Unique Cars Magazine explains one part of the explosion in the value of Classic Cars.
As we have reported many times recently, we are now into "boom" territory, especially with the cars that we invest in, which are NOT Australian built cars. The reason for that is simple...........Australian Collectible Cars appeal to 17.5% of the 25 Million or so people that reside within the continent. The Collectible Cars that we invest in appeal to 27.1% of the Global population of 7.7 Billion. Whilst a boom and bust will definitely occur with Australian Cars as has occurred some years back, our Investment cars will just keep on growing, as they always have, WHEN exactly the correct make, model and options are chosen.
Call now to get in on this meteoric rise in prices.

As all of our Investors know, many, many Porsche's rise and then fall, as they become overpriced. The 930 Turbo was a great example, as we were purchasing the car known as "The Widowmaker" for $45-75,000 in 2016, before they rose to an eye-watering $600,000 in Australia. Now anyone can purchase a great 930 for $220,000 (Unless it is an unmolested '76/'77 3 Litre).............a loss of almost $400,000 !. That is why we never hold Porsche's for very long. There would be a few Widows around that may do the job that the car was famed for !.
Esprit's hit the $200,000 mark.
Our collection of Lotus's is rising in value so fast now that we can't keep up !

We began purchasing Esprit's a few years back for not much, and now look at their values. ALL of our other cars have done exactly the same thing. Get in now before Collectible Car become like Australian property !.

A real bargain of a Porsche 356A.
Yes, the recent Shannons auction yielded this stellar purchase for just $230,000
Some people love Porsche 356's and especially the 1600 c.c Cabriolet A derivation.
This car had lived under a Brisbane church since 1995, and so is really more of a Church Find than a Barn Find.
Whilst it still features the illustrious VW Beetle 1600 engine, this one does have the redeeming feature of being one of the rarer cars that came with the genuine Karmann roof and Rudge wheels.
