Folk Regularly Ask me "How do I make a Good Investment in a Potential Classic Car?"
I Reply ... As a Guy who has Scrapped 6 MK1 Astra GTE's , Owned and Sold 7 R5 GT Turbos for Peanuts and Written off One of the Rarest RS Turbo Lightenings , Sold my 3-Dr Cossie for £2250 and Several Forbie Cossies for Parts ... You should Really Ask Someone Else !
Yeah But you've got a Few nice cars in your Collection that have made Thousands !
Have They really ?
I've put enough , time , effort and V-Max Petrol in my V6 that i wil Never make Money ! I didn't buy it for that reason , I bought it out of Love for the V6 ; for the Madness and Uniquness .... I was So lucky to find such an Awesome Car , but as i have said many a time , the Phase 1 originals will always sky rocket in value ... Way Beyond the PHase II's the Only Reason the R5 Turbo2 Didn't Sell at the Silverstone Auctions Recently is because the Reserve was set at 1/4 of a Million Pounds !!
Clio V6 Prices have Sky-Rocketed since my last post and my Accurate Prediction
So , If you would like a Vehicle to Invest in , That is Cool , Rare and will Always Increase in Value ...
You will Always need a Fast Ford
I Have Just Purchased a Ford Mondeo in the Ultra-Rare Diamond Black Metallic as Opposed to the Still Quite Rare "Panther Black" Cars
With Full Black Leather Recaro Trim , Colour Sat Nav , Reverse Sensors , Outside and Inside Courtesy Lights , Heated Seats , Factory Upgraded 18" RS Alloys Etc.
The Spec is Enormous ! ... This was a Bargain at £30,000 New as it has German Build Quality , A Super Smooth 3.0 Litre V6 Engine that Does Roar at the Red-Line , Has More BHP than an Escort Cosworth or Sierra ....
Need I Go On ?
As the English Built ST24 (The Quality of the Steel as Opposed to the Build Quality ... Remember the MK3 German and then the Mk4 English Fast Escorts ?) The Older ST24 and ST200 have plumeted in Value in Respect ONLY of the ST220's Available Today ... Seen this before when the White Lightenings were the same price as the RS2000 at about £2k ! Goodnes I am Gettting Old !
The ST220 is a Very Rare Car ... Mine sits next to the Exec's Merc worth 30.000 on the Forecourt and You can't tell them Apart ... In Fact , the 2005 St220 has far Higher Spec !
Many Customers have said "Love the new Merc but the Ford (With the Private Plate) Looks the Same ... I prefer the Ford ST
A Couple of the Low Mileage Panthers are for Sale at £8,000 and a Moderate Mileage Panther at £6,000
My Diamond Black has Exceeded £100k but with Excellent History ...
Just needs buying and Sticking in a Barn for Ten Years at Only £1750 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
12 Months MOT with No Advisories
Couple of Minor Niggles like I've Boshed the Gorgeous Alloys Real Good and I've Knocked a small piece out of the front bumper ( Still have it - Just requires Plastic Welding )
If You can Stomach the 25 MPG , What an INCREDIBLE Every Day Car ( 40 MPG on Motorways )
Or a PERFECT INVESTMANT
