Yes. It all depends on what constitutes your wealth.
I don't think it's the super-rich (say $50m and up? Cue passive-aggressive post dismissing $50m as a large amount of money! smile) that are hoovering-up nice but not special 80's Ferraris at double their price of 3 years ago.

It's small business owners, bankers and BTL superheroes who always wanted one, and now can genuinely afford it, but only give themselves permission to buy "because they're rocketing in price, love. It's now or never!".

I think these chaps will hurl their cars back on the market at the hint of a softening in prices. 'Twas ever thus.

Here's a fun game based on earlier comments re. values: what was the sum total in that shot then and what would it be now?
I read a piece recently quoting a dealer saying he'd have been significantly better off just shutting his doors 18 months ago rather than actually trading.

Ignores the need for cash flow and income, of course.
McDonalds are always hiring...
Free food too.

I can't imagine it's too easy securing stock when the price is rising so aggressively.
Although it probably opens up opportunities for unusual and overlooked classics to get a look in.

There is an original, bright lime green cooper for sale privately just near me in Bucks.
Any interest?
White stripes, spotlights (I think)

Sounds an odd colour for a Cooper??

Never got to hear much about that example. Was ownership a little kinder to you this time chap?

Wish I'd never sold the 964. When I sold it a year ago for £14500 I was jumping through hoops. There'd be a queue of punters a mile long now at £20k.

Dried camel again?

The first Honda S800s were chain-driven.
