turboT Posted 12July, 2017 Author Report Share Posted 12July, 2017 In ten year's time, will Singers be the next slant nose/RS rep/backdate/forward date/yesterday's fashion etc etc sitting on ebay for pennies on the dollar? Too early to call at this point - but history so far shows only unmodified classics (or period race cars) as having any longevity in the market.rumour has it collectors with money to burn are snapping up fezzas and lambos OBRUT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pork Chops Posted 12July, 2017 Report Share Posted 12July, 2017 rumour has it collectors with money to burn are snapping up fezzas and lambos Why? Yields on equities have been low recently-ish and same for money on bank so alt asset classes like classic cars, wine and art have prospered. I get there are only so many made but I reckon it's cyclical. They can't generate income (like an investment in a business), only costs, so the investment relies on the capital gain which is a bet on prices going up. Prices going up is a factor of ??? supply and demand, or hype?? Be interesting to see how it all ends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pkulpa Posted 13July, 2017 Report Share Posted 13July, 2017 A mate has a 911R. I have been in it, what a car!!He has been offered $1m for it cash and he said no.He has a HUGE collection of Porsches and Ferraris and has waited for Porsche to make a modern lightweight for ages.Porsche Carlton rang him and said your GT4 has arrived and he told them keep it and give me a 911R.He got number 4 in Vic.As I said what a car. He has not let me drive it yet!! Still waiting.He had a cancer scare so he drives it all the time. He said life is too short. micknine01, flamingporsche, Spets87 and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
