Singer's latest awesome creation to appear at Goodwood Festival of Speed in a few days.
This exercise in "Dynamics and Lightweighting Study-Turbo" is the latest of a string of great cars that improve the 911.
The car is based around the concept of the 934/5 from the Trans Am series in 1977 when race cars looked and performed wicked.
This car features a 700 hp engine that is based on the 3.8 litre unit, althoughly highly modified.
A 308 GTB Vetroresina is coming up for sale.
The most valuable Ferrari 308 GTB was made from fibreglass.............
One of the 712 Ferrari 308 GTB's with a fibreglass body is coming up for sale at Sotheby's.
It is SO interesting that Colin Chapman's original concept with all Lotus cars to "add lightness" occasionally spread to other manufacturers that wanted to build low weight proper performance cars. Whilst the 308 GTB Vetroresina is really only sought after for it's "early build in low numbers" status, almost ALL Lotus cars went on to be renowned for being the ultimate drivers cars.
And that is why we have so many Lotus cars. They have been undervalued for a long time, although the smart investors are now catching on, and this prospective sale of a Vetroresina will only enhance the demand for properly built race cars for the road that give the biggest buzz when driven.
SOLD for $1.12 MILLION. A Ford Sierra Cosworth RS500
Earlier this year a Ford Sierra Cosworth RS500 sold..................for over $1 Million.
In a sign of things to come, these "Fast Fords" in the United Kingdom are similar to "Fast Japs" down in Australia. One just needs to know which ones to invest in.
The investor in this Cossie certainly got it right, because the sale prices for RS500's just five years ago were just $230,000.
That is a gain of almost $1 MILLION from a Ford in under 5 years.
THAT is why we invest in SPECIFIC Collectible Cars.............

At AU$320,000, a new benchmark for Lotus Esprit V8 Twin Turbo values is reached
Lotus Esprit V8 Twin Turbo's reach new heights
We have always been discussing the amazing Lotus Esprit V8 twin Turbo's since we began investing in them several years ago. We have reported on their rise up the charts of Investment Success, and this low mileage example assists in their rise towards the more realistic pricing of more than $400,000. At the time of production these awesome machines were sometimes compared with the Ferrari F355, which of course they are far, far superior to. As anyone that has driven these cars (properly) knows, the sheer lateral grip levels and braking that can be achieved with these race cars on the road is nothing short of eyewatering.

This awesome Jaguar saw action at the 16th Monte Carlo Rally just two months after it's purchase, proving how great these cars were, even back in the 1930's..
The car actually finished thirtieth overall, in what is and always was, a very difficult rally to complete.

Rowan Atkinson discovers the truth about Electric Cars
There has been much written about Electric Cars, although after purchasing an EV 9 years ago, Rowan Atkinson has finally learned the truth
We have always maintained that Electric Vehicles are only a temporary band aid solution, and now the chorus of agreeing voices grows louder. Whilst EV's offer a reasonable solution around cities, they are very restricted across longer distances, where an alternative to petrol for powering internal combustion engines is a far more realistic.
We recall growing up in London and seeing the electric milk floats that delivered milk for up to 3 hours, before they returned to base to be recharged. Now, in 2023, EV's will run for the same time as they did then !.
This article reminds us that Volvo stated that the CO2 emissions from manufacturing an Electric Car were 70% higher than that of a petrol powered car in 2021.
Only $166,650 for this great Ford Escort Lux

Proactive Investors Report says Classic Cars are "In pole position for Investors as prices rocket"
This great Report from Proactive Investors Magazine speaks of the 185% rise in values.
This News Article from April states that "Classic cars may turn out be one of the best alternative investments in terms of returns, with prices of the vehicles almost tripling in the last ten years".
Now, whilst that is the case for mainstream Classic Cars, there are some that achieve much, much greater gains over a much shorter timeframe. Just as with stocks and shares, one has to make exactly the right choice with the make, model, colour, transmission option, trim option, engine designation, brake package, body configuration as well as another 53 key points to achieve great gains. Call us now to discover which cars will boom in value over the next few months.

Up 43% for Rover SD1
Rover's finally have their moment in the sun, whilst the usual multi-million dollar cars of a certain age drop (which is why we don't invest in them !).
Russ Smith's latest 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 14% over this past quarter, (56% for the year) now that higher temperatures are with the people of Europe. Naturally in this July edition of the publication, several Ferrari's have dropped like stones yet again, with a whole range of higher value Maserati's and some Bentley 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 British hatchback makes an outstanding gain of 29% in 3 months. This car was was ALWAYS going to take off soon, which is why we purchased 4 of them 8 months ago.
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 ! :
