Mark Haybittle talks on ABC Radio in this, the Forty Third of a regular show
Mark chats on ABC Radio once again, with some more great cars being discussed.
UP 59% in 3 months for the GT Rochdale !!, and UP 25% in 3 mths for another forgotten masterpiece.
This quarter is really about yet another forgotten Classic British car, the Rochdale GT, along with another wonderful French piece of automotive excellence.
Russ Smith's latest discoveries for January, 2025 shows that our investment strategy never fails, with some of our early picks making massive gains. Some of the results that Russ has written about across the past 3 months on page 17 of Thoroughbred and Classic Cars Magazine are a little "ordinary" except for a couple of standouts. During this period the wonderful little Rochdale GT that was built in the North Of England on Ford Popular mechanics has soared 58% over this past quarter, now that they have been re-discovered, along with the fabulous A310 Alpine Renault which has gained 25% in 3 months. Naturally several Porsche's have dropped again, with one of the 911's leading the way down of course, at an 11% drop. Sadly a certain Jaguar has joined them in the loser's box, no doubt due to the age of the cars and the audience, although we really did not think that we would see the day that XK120's would drop back. Naturally of course though, we are holding none !!.
There is just way too much to report on yet again this quarter, although the story of the great Rochdale really needs to be told, as it was a car that inspired others like Reliant to make great cars, and has an appearance that is part 911, part TVR Griffith and part early Lotus Elite, many of which came AFTER this great car. This car was was ALWAYS going to take off in 2024.
Here a few examples of the cars that those that have to rely on purchasing from advertisements and auctions have been acquiring WELL AFTER the growth has stopped :
The Collectible Cars that HAVE risen, and will now STOP their growth (Move onto the next 62 cars that have already doubled in value !)
Rochdale GT Up 58% in 3 months
Alpine-Renault GTA Turbo Up 25% in 3 months
Triumph Dolomite Sprint Up 10% in 3 months
Ford Capri 3000 GT Up 10% in 3 months
It is of course too late to capitalise on the values of these cars, as they will now stop growing, and so we move on into the next 62 great Collectible Investment Cars that will boom in 3-6 months time.
The dropping Collectible Cars
Porsche 911 2.0 Down 11% in 3 months
Maserati Ghibli Spyder Down 6.3% in 3 months

$2 Million worth of classic cars found in a Welsh warehouse
Over 100 Classic and Collectible Jaguars, Bentleys, Mercedes and Mini's were found by an urban explorer.
The gentleman that found these cars has a You Tube presence, and said that he was amazed by what he had found.
With a little work back at our Restoration Centre, some of these cars would look like new !!.

Mark and Joel chat in the ABC about some more great Collectible Cars.
This week we discuss some of the major factors that we must have to ensure that each of the cars that we purchase become awesome investments.
We also speak to one very lucky owner of an early Mini Mark I, along with a great Toyota.
Up 26%.......again for the Ford RS2000, Up 16% for the Mitsubishi Evo VI, Down for 190 SL.
This quarter is really about the Modern Classics, as the older cars slip away along with their owners...............
Russ Smith's latest December, 2024 report shows some interesting results across the past 3 months on page 17 of Thoroughbred and Classic Cars Magazine. During this period a multitude of great cars achieved more than 15% over this past 3 months, partially because it was across the late Summer in Europe. Naturally some Mercedes models have dropped again, with the 190 SL leading the way down 6.5%. Sadly a certain AC has joined them in the loser's box, no doubt due to the age of the cars and the audience.
There is just way too much to report on yet again this quarter, although another awesome Ford has jumped up yet again, as it becomes the investment that just keeps giving, having made another 26% in 3 months, on top of all the other gains through 2023 and 2024. These RS2000's now make over $100,000 regularly, no doubt partially due to the very rare and original droop snoot front end.
Some people ask us, "Are classic cars a good investment now ?". The answer is simple : "Definitely, when we purchase the cars that our Collector contacts are telling us they want right now, and are buying plenty of", in the same way that shares and property are purchased. Inside knowledge is power.
Here a few examples of the cars that those that have to rely on purchasing from advertisements and auctions have been acquiring WELL AFTER the growth has stopped :
The Collectible Cars that HAVE risen, and will now STOP their growth (Move onto the next 62 cars that have already doubled in value !)
Ford Escort RS2000 Up 26% in 3 months
Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VI Up 16% in 3 months
Triumph 2.5 PI Up 9.6% in 3 months
Lotus Carlton Up 13% in 3 months
It is of course too late to capitalise on the values of these cars, as they will now stop growing, and so we move on into the next 77 great Collectible Investment Cars that will boom in 3-6 months time.
The dropping Collectible Cars
Lancia Fulvia Sport Zagato Down 18% in 3 months
Austin Healey 100S Down 6.7% in 3 months

Mark Haybittle talks on ABC Radio in this, the Forty First of a regular show
Joel and Mark chat on live ABC radio about some great investments
This week we cover Jaguar E-Type's, some Chrysler's and a great old Vanguard.
Not only do current cars DROP in value massively, now they also record everything you say and do.
New cars drop in value massively, are boring to drive, and record you're words, actions and deeds.
It is no wonder that so many people are purchasing Collectible and Classic Cars, and are driving them in preference to the newly available cars.
This great Choice Magazine report highlights that Car Manufacturers are now using voice and face recognition in you're car, as well as recording you're driving patterns, you're images, and you're conversations. Naturally of course, this information is then being sold to AI companies around the globe.

Mark Haybittle talks on ABC Radio in this, the Fortieth of a regular show
Mark and Joel chat about great cars, and how to make a $2 Million profit in one car.
Amongst some great cars being discussed are the wonderful Lancia Delta Integrale 4wd Turbo, as well as the car that made the owner almost AU$2.9 Million (US$2 Million) in just two years.......
What is the best classic car to invest in ?...................Well, one that our multitude of Collector contacts are telling us is the next big thing, and are now relentlessly purchasing plenty of.
How to make $2 MILLION profit in ONE car.
This Dodge Charger Daytona has just sold for $3.3 Million, after being purchased in 2022 for just $1.32 Million
The 1969 Dodge Daytona is one of the rarer American muscle cars, and shows just how amazing the Collectible Car Industry is, and whey so many people want to be part of it. A similar car sold in 2023 for just $1.43 Million, although that car was not at quite the level of the one that just sold in August, 2024.
Is it wise to invest in classic cars ?.................You be the judge !.
What classic cars are making a comeback ?.................clearly the Dodge Charger !!.
Up 25% for most amazing Supercar ever built, UP 32% for a trusty Triumph, and UP 11% for a great MG
The excitement is back, with some great gains this past quarter, with Lotus leading the way.
A great rise of 25% over the past 3 months was indicative of a quarter that was alive again, and firing on all cylinders, with the most driveable and amazing Supercar leading the gains. Russ Smith's latest report for November, 2024 shows us some far more exciting results across the past 3 months, on page 17 of the latest issue of Thoroughbred and Classic Cars Magazine. Russ's great and intense research always outlines the great rises and falls with Classic Car values, and highlights why we do what we do.
What is the best classic car to invest in ?................ Clearly a Lotus Esprit V8 Twin Turbo, of which we have plenty !
This car is a very rare beast, with an awesome flat-plane hand built Lotus V8 Twin Turbo engine that originally had 500 bhp, until Lotus had to reduce the power to only 350 bhp to save transmissions. Naturally of course, all of our cars are running 500-650 bhp, with some special transmission parts, in a car that weighs almost nothing compared to other Supercars. As Colin Chapman (God to many) always said, "We add lightness". Power to weight is everything in a car.
Many, many of the older cars are really dropping fast now, and hence why we are SO selective when investing in the older cars. Even the ultimate perennial, the Jaguar E-Type's are dropping fast now (down 4.3-5.8%), along with the Austin Healey 3000's (down 8.7%). These cars will now just drop away continually, while we concentrate on the REAL risers that are absolutely booming.
Here a few examples of the cars that those that have to rely on purchasing from advertisements and auctions have been acquiring WELL AFTER the growth has stopped ! :
The Collectible Cars that HAVE risen, and will now STOP their growth (Time to move onto the next 54 cars that have already gaining in value......fast !)
Lotus Esprit V8 Up 25% in 3 months
Triumph 1300 Fwd Up 32% in 3 months
Lancia Gamma Coupe Up 12% in 3 months
MGB GT Up 11% in 3 months
It is of course too late to capitalise on the values of these cars, as they will now stop growing, and so we move on into the next 62 great Collectible Investment Cars that will boom in 3-6 months time.

Mercedes-Benz 540K Cabriolet A Down 14% in 3 months
