Superb Lotus Esprit S1 coming up for sale at R.M. Sothebys
Even though this car is the lower powered U.S.A. option, Petrolicious still loved this excellent car.
It would seem that the writer found this car to be superior to many other cars of it's time, as well as right up to the present day.
$275,000 reasons why we are restoring so many Range Rover 2- Doors......

No wonder we purchased so many Supra TT's 18-22 months ago for very little, and then shipped some of them........
This Quiksilver Supra is totally original in every way with reasonably low mileage, just as they should be for maximum appreciation.
A reminder from Oracle Finance : "Classic Cars Deliver a Staggering 469% return"
Sometimes it is great to reflect upon the great things achieved across time.
As we all know, the correct Collectible Cars always gain massively in value, and so whilst this news article is not from 2019, it serves to remind us why we do what we do, by picking all the winners from the crowd.
SOLD for $60,700 (£32,200), and up 255% in 16 months.
Back in July, 2018, great 840 Ci's similar to this car were changing hands for an average of £12,800.

Esprit's continue their rise, unabated.............. $143,400 for this one
As more and more people discover the magnificent virtues of Lotus's, prices continue to rise.
When will the rise stop though ?.
Call to find out.
Quicker than a Testarossa, and using a 4 cylinder engine.
The challenge of creating a car with incredible handling, looks, brakes and performance for a reasonable price evaded almost all car manufacturers.
That said, there were five (5) manufacturers that were able to achieve this feat, although only one that did it with style, by combining F1 Race winning concepts.
We are now up to AU$156 for 2 years driving in one of our Esprit's. So much for what "the experts" would have had us believe.
Remembering the Metro 6R4
This article was writtn by an amateur writer in the Hagerty Insurance competition.
The Group B Rally era was arguably the most exciting period for Rallying...............until now. The 2018 and 2019 cars have drawn crowds back to the forests that are now larger than F1. This is the story of one of the four cars from the previous era.
Are you aware of what will happen next ?
The next, and more significant value drop in Australian Property....... Massive interest only loan reset
As we predicted WAY BACK in 2016 in our News section (July the 15th), again in later 2016, in 2017, July the 23rd, 2018 and November the 27th, 2018), Australian property was in for a correction.
Well, we were absolutely right yet again.
The question is, are you aware of what will cause the next, and larger part of the crash in property values ?.
It may be time to start thinking in an a different way !!.
Ferruccio Lamborghini, Colin Chapman, Jem Marsh and Lee Noble all together in one place.
What an amazing story this is..........
A Father and Son that really understand what it is to be an Innovator. They too are Innovators, and so is the facility that their collection is housed within.
Up 440% over 3 years for the Capri MKIII.
There are another 7 cars that have risen by an average of 521% over the same period.
Can you guess what they are ?.
These cars tripled in value, according to The Times Newspaper
This News Article from 2018 explains the boom in interest in Collectible Cars, with a tripling of value if we are selecting the cars
As we all know, there are very few Investments left that have any return that is worth mentioning. Property dropped in Australia across the past 3 years, the share market is way too volatile (Afterpay DOWN 22% over the past 3 days), and bank cash deposits are a joke these days.
There is nothing left.....................except Collectible Cars, some of which have TRIPLED in value.
The Times article reminds us that a VW Golf Gti MkI has risen from £6,200 to £24,500 last year, which is where they stopped their growth. Now it's on to the next boom cars for us, whilst new cars drop their value immediately after purchase, and continue until they are worthless.
As The Times says " The Race is On", so get in now before you leave it for another year.
McRae is immortal, and now the GC8 WRX is a classic.
