    hahaha classic cars!
    good one!
    isn't the value of a classic car subjective, though?

    Not really. They are a market with dips/troughs and fads/fashions

    If you bought a Countach for 50 grand 10 years ago you'd be sitting on 1/4mil.

    It may crash but who cares?

    It's only money!!!

    THA'S A LO'!
    i'm sure thats an extreme example, though
    there must be insurance and storage costs involved too
    and the temptation to take it for a spin and drive like an idiot

    Tired are we? Why would I sell mortgages Mr HPC diplomat?

    Unlike the HPC haters I've knuckled down and chosen wisely.

    Listed cottage rented out in East London. Flat in W11 with 70% equity on a killer 2% rate. Several appreciating classic cars owned outright.

    I'm not a boomer. I'm someone who grafted and researched the markets.

    4th time now Mr Crash-heima. Where are you going to live when you retire? The point of owning your house after you retire is it costs zip!

    It doesn't matter if its up down left right in value.

    Mefinks you are on the wrong train on the wrong track dear boy!

    It is probably very lucrative to those who know what they are doing, unfortunately I wouldn't have a clue, and I would probably get my fingers burned.
