For many of us a droomscenario, but once it is so far proving a difficult choice: you have a budget of around £ 150k to be in a car to investing and aims to increase in value. What is the most lucrative option?

An avid AB reader emailed us with the above question. The criteria on which our advice in every case, the requirements are as follows:

Current oxy-fuel

Sale/ leaseKoop

Business/ privePrive

Budget150.000 euro

JaarkilometrageWellicht a few kilometers per year

BrandstofvoorkeurBenzine

Reason for buying other autoInvestering

GezinssamenstellingGeen family

Preferred brands/ modellenFerrari, Lamborghini, BMW, Aston Martin, preferably on the classic models.

No-go models/ merkenPorsche

The mailer works and lives abroad and the car would be in the Netherlands (heated) garage, so the chance that there is a lot of miles on the clock will be set to nil. The most important consideration in a car to invest -and not, for example, in art – is that you are in a car you can drive, but everyone should, of course, know what he with his money. In the case of automotive investments we have, however, often about lovers, as in this case.

That said it is difficult to make with certainty to say which cars are seriously in value start to increase. Prices of air-cooled Porsches (unfortunately a no-go brand in this case) go nice in the air, especially with models such as the 993 Carrera RS. Cars like the Dino 246, you could have not too long ago for relatively little money and bring, but the last time, as hard increased in value that neat copies outside the budget.

Perhaps less obvious, but equally interesting, is for example a Peugeot 205 T16 with a little luck, and just within the budget. This rallybommetje are only 200 street versions built, what the chances of appreciation in value, of course, increase. Even a must from about the same category is a neat Delta Integrale with little mileage on the clock. We remain a little in the corner of brands that may not necessarily be your preference, then you can for this amount, of course, also a nice E-Type on the head, try tapping.

However, there is also plenty of more modern stuff to choose from. Delights as the BMW M3 CSL [E46] or the Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale already have a pretty iconic status, but are excellent cars in which driving should be. Apart from that, the value of these two in the future is likely to increase, in the worst case, you buy one of these two a great driving car at a low depreciation.

Of course, we also have to Gosse Cage of Gina Classics we for expert advice. He indicates that with the available budget now is (still) a beautiful 512 TR or Testarossa on the head can tap and these cars are quickly worth more. The same is true for the 550 Maranello (which is certainly klassiekerpotentie) and for something less sexy options such as the 308/328.

What Aston Martins will a more recent model, probably not the hoped-for waardeklapper. Of course, there are the different types of limited versions (think V8 Vantage N24). Or there between that speciaaltjes cars sit where lovers in the future, grif money for go changed hands, remains to be seen. Classics such as the DB4 GT Zagato, we show because of their exorbitant value as left.

For Lamborghini is valid about the same. Of the Gallardo are a lot of special versions appeared, which still remains to be seen whether they will in the future be worth more. A tight Murciélago fits within the budget, the same is true for some Diablo’s. A nice Countach for € 150 k is already a difficult task, on the Miura or the 350 GT, we don’t agree to have more.

In short, we can really only recommend for the car to go where you really want to have. Classics that their value explosion already behind the back have as an investment, the less interesting and which cars in the near future, significantly increase in value is difficult to say. So, for that one supercar where you from childhood has loved you or that you have already been years of dreaming. Suggestions, we read love in the comments!
