Vintage UK Cars: The historic Ferrari, McLaren and BMW are now worth a “considerable fortune”.


Vintage UK Cars: The historic Ferrari, McLaren and BMW are now worth a "considerable fortune".

Some models like the Ferrari 250 GTO, Shelby Cobra, and McLaren F1 saw the biggest price hikes, with thousands added to their total cost in recent years. NetCredit experts said some historic models are now worth “considerable fortune” as collectors continue to pay more for some of the most iconic vehicles on the road.

“However, determining the value or fair market value of a classic car (FMV) goes beyond assessing the condition of the body, mechanical integrity and the level of restoration carried out to bring the vehicle to life.

“When it comes to the most expensive cars sold at auction, wealthy car collectors are looking for two things: limited production and racing heritage.

“These two key factors play an essential role in determining the value of a future classic, but you should also consider market demand.”

For vehicles valued below $ 100,000 (£ 71,000), the two-door BMW 1600 Convertible tops the list over the past 15 years, increasing by $ 79,100 (£ 56,200).

According to NetCredit, which was manufactured between 1962 and 1977, the model was a “critical” part of BMW history.

You emphasized that the 1967 BMW 1600 has gained the most importance among the other BMW classics.

Other classics under $ 100,000 that have seen their values ​​soar sharply include the Ghia 1500, which is up $ 77,200 (£ 54,900) and the Ford Bronco, which is up by $ 73,400 (£ 52,200).

The Bristol 411 SI and Fiat 1100TV have also been listed for up to $ 72,800 (£ 51,760) over the past 15 years.

However, NetCredit experts have warned that prices for more modern classics could skyrocket in the coming years.

Power imports from the early 1990s to the mid 2000s such as the A80 Toyota Supra, Nissan Skyline R32 / R33 / R34, Subaru Impreza WRX STI, and Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution series may not cost as much as a 1962 Ferrari right now 250 GTO.

“However, if 1960s classic valuation trends were true of newer performance imports, we would expect import prices to skyrocket as collectors generate more disposable income from that era.”
