Autofolio Investment Cars Guide

[Blown2CV]

Can any comment on whether this is any good? I follow them on social media and they do create some kind of interesting content on sale figure patterns for particular models and generations of cars etc, but as far as predicting the future it's obviously very debatable. The report costs like £70 or something too... anyone decided to buy it and have useful views?

no one ever used this?

I can't see what particular insights they can offer. What are you hoping to achieve?

Auction results are generally public record and private sale results are either confidential or wrong.

Classic and Sportscar and Classic Cars magazines have 'market watch' features, and even Car and Classic has started showing price trends for some stuff.

Seems like a right grift to me, one of the people who runs it is very active on linkedin and has about as much experience in finance as Robert Mugabe. You'd be much better getting the Hagerty price guide or studying auction results.

I'm skeptical that £77 buys you anything you couldn't find for £0 elsewhere:

The recent evo magazine eras articles are also good inspiration IMHO.

As I suspected thanks!

Essentially it's common sense.

Cars on the up & worth investing in:

Culturally relevant.
Limited production / high loss rate.
Made 25-35 years ago, so the people who lusted after them when they were new will be turning 50 soon.

Anything in GranTurismo, Top Gear Cool wall cars, start reading Manga with cars in it, for some reason Fords.

Cars that have plateaued but safe(ish) money:

Iconic.
Rare.
Beautiful.
Sporty.

Mini Cooper S, E-Type Jaguar, Ferrari, Lamborghini, 911 etc etc.

Classic Cars that will loose money.

Only remembered by your parent's generation.
Lost cultural relevance.
So rare no-one ever heard of them.
Not pretty or sporty.
The manufacturer died over 30 years ago.

50's Rovers, Lanchesters, Gilbern, Vauxhalls, Jaguars that aren't Mk.2 3.8 on wires or E-Type Series 1 or V12 roadster.
