UP 99%, yes 99% in 3 months for an awesome Hillman, up 20% for the ultimate fastest 4 seater Lotus.
As we move into the U.K. Summer, the past 3 months has been the strongest in many years, with some absolutely eye-watering gains of up to 99%.
Russ Smith's latest report for August 2024 shows some awesome sale results across the past 3 months on page 17 of the latest issue of Thoroughbred and Classic Cars Magazine, with the trusty Hillman Avenger GLS leading the way at 99% gain in 3 months. This Holbay engined car with twin Webers hanging off the side of the engine follows recent gains with the Hunter GLS with the powerplant. These great cars had slipped under the radar for way too long.
Ford's Escort RS2000 is the Classic that just keeps on giving, with yet another 19% gain, begging the question "Will it ever end". The Fiesta RS Turbo is up 35%, now that people cannot afford the Escort RS Turbo any more !.
Ferrari's illustrious 512 BB has now seen a drop, after being one of the most loved Prancing Horse cars for quite some time, as has the bigger engined E-Type and a Bentley, as interests shift up a decade. That said, none of these cars are dropping as fast as almost all Australian Classic cars (down 20-26%), which of course are driven entirely by interest rates and the relatively small population that like muscle cars.
Here a few examples of "Old News" cars that are now historical, for those that have to rely on purchasing from advertisements and auctions have been acquiring too late in the growth cycle :
The rising Collectible Cars
Lotus Carlton Up 20%
Hillman Avenger GLS Up 99%

Revitalised Veteran Car values ?.
After years in the doldrums and falling values, now a resurgence for Veteran Cars seems to be on the cards.
As we have always reported, Collectible, Classic and Veteran Cars all have a shelf life, and so Investors must be purchasing the right cars at the right time, and then moving them on at the right time, just as with shares.
Veteran Cars highlight this anomaly perfectly, as they have fallen from grace quite dramatically due to the people that loved them passing away or just becoming too old to drive them.
That said and as Fuzz Townshend eludes to in this great News Article, there are a new wave of people coming though that are reviving interest in the really early motor cars.
UP 17% over 3 months for the impressive 850R, with only modest growth elsewhere this Quarter.
The Collectible Car Investment growth was not as exciting this past 3 months........
The great rise of 17% for the Volvo 850R over the past 3 months was long overdue, although this great car was really the only car gaining over 10% for this Quarter As the truly original ones that we purchase become more and more difficult to locate, prices are booming.
Russ Smith's latest report for July, 2024 shows far more modest results once again 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 ?...............Well, one that we have personally selected using our criteria, such as the Sunbeam Rapier H120 which has gained 8.6% in 3 months.
This car was a very rare beast, with a Holbay tuned engine with twin Webers hanging off the side of the engine, and an awesome sound !
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 64 cars that have already gaining in value......fast !)

TVR T350 Up 5.8% in 3 months
Sunbeam Rapier H120 Up 8.6% in 3 months
Ford Fiesta XR2 MkII Up 7.7% in 3 months

18.5% per annum, this year, next year and EVERY year as this Investment Article highlights
Up 185% across ten years as this article from Procative Investor Magazine highlights
Classic and Collectible Cars have outstripped every other form of Investment, as this magazine points out.
That said though, most Classic Cars FALL instead of rising. People ask "Are Australian Classic Cars a good investment". The answer is, definitely NOT, unless one purchases at the bottom of the market (which occurs every time that interest rates reach their highest point) and sell at the top, as one does with shares. Australian Classic Cars peaked in 2022, and have fallen dramatically ever since, because they only appeal to a small percentage of 27 Million people, whereas all of our cars appeal to the same percentage of the entire world's population.
When is now the best time to act !
Everyone is investing in Classic Cars.
Over $9.9 BILLION spent on Classic and Collectible Cars each year in Australia
Yes, it seems that people in Australia are gradually catching on to the asset class with the greatest investment gains. As this Drive.com.au Article states from last week, "It's an Investment".
Investors are now flocking into Classic Cars in a way not seen before, to the tune of $9.9 BILLION per year.
Some would like to know "Why are people interested in Classic Cars?". The answer is simple, and it is because they are the investment with the greatest gains, AND people can drive and enjoiy them and not just look at them as with art or coins etc.
As we have said for 10 years now, it was only a matter of time !!.

Whilst everything else is falling, Collectible and Classic Car Investment continues as the standout Asset Class.

Yet again he has found so many cars with growth of over 15% over this past quarter, with a rise of 30% for the Fiat Strada Abarth 130 TC over the past 3 months. That said though, this oddball example is unlikely to ever see this kind of rise again.

UP 40% for the Talbot Sunbeam........Finally !, and UP 20% for a classic Volvo.

Classic Cars are absolutely booming in value, WHEN you know which ones to purchase
Up 20% for the GT40, up 16% for Rover's rediscovered Coupe, and up 14% for one of Volvo's best
Ford's GT40 takes centre stage this quarter, as people remember this awesome machine, , whilst many Ferrari's and Porsche's of a certain age drop as they always do.
Russ Smith's latest report for April, 2024 shows some very interesting results across the past 3 months on page 17 of Thoroughbred and Classic Cars Magazine. During the past 3 months a multitude of great cars achieved more than 20% over this past quarter, showing us all that the market is booming again. Within this edition of the publication, many Ferrari's have dropped again, with a whole range of higher value Porsche's and some early Austin Healey models joining them in the loser's box. Some of this drop off is undoubtedly due to the age range of the cars listed.
There is just way too much to report on yet again this quarter, although briefly another great Swedish car makes an outstanding gain of 14% in 3 months, mainly because of it's awesome and unique appearance. This car was was ALWAYS going to take off, which is why we purchased several of them prior to this massive value rise .
