The collector car scene has massively changed over the last decade, with the market for classic collectible automobiles increasing by several folds. A combination of spirited buying and climbing prices has made the maintenance of collections much more complicated than ever before. Here you can check out some of our favorite vintage cars:
Mercedes SL 300 Gullwing
Among the first sports cars of the post-war era, the Mercedes SL 300 Gullwing was the fastest production car of its time when it was introduced in 1954. As the first direct fuel injection series production car, the SL 300 could travel at an eye-popping 160 miles per hour. "Nobody expected something like that from Mercedes". Though about three-quarters of the original SL 300's survive today, many still belong to their original owners.
Porsche 911 F model
The Porsche 911 represents vintage driving at its best—particularly during the golden era before the car's 1974 redesign. There's magic in the early 911, It's an amazingly well-built machine that delivers one of the most honest driving experiences of any sports car ever built. Even by today's standards, first-generation 911s still have plenty of horsepower and can hold their own on the track. You can find one, even in mint condition, on eBay.
Shelby Cobra 427
The Shelby Cobra 427, also known as AC Cobra 427, is a homologation special built to support its race car sibling for the 1965 racing season. The British-American sports car is a big hit amongst vintage collectors and is considered one of Carrol Shelby’s finest creations. The tiny sports car featured a massive 7.0-liter V8 was built in cooperation with Ford in Detroit.
VW T2 Van
Yes, the rumors are true, we are in possession of our own VW T2. It is the first vintage car we ever owned and it took a lot of effort to fully restore it. The VW T2 Van is considered, alongside the T1, to be one of the most popular vintage vans and there are many VW air-cooled owners clubs around the world. In due time, we will be using it for events that we are going to organize, so you may see it hanging around.
Ferrari 250 GTO
Ferrari made just 39 of these elegant race cars between 1962 and 1964, so they are extremely rare. "The 250 GTO is probably the holy grail in terms of value and recognition, but the reality is only a handful of people in the world will ever have the chance to legitimately drive one.
