Bull or Bear?

The debate continues about the future investment value of premier Classic Cars.

Especially with the rise in interest rates and non-yielding assets like classic cars. And the worldwide volatility in the ‘markets.

It is reasonable to assume a significant downward price adjustment; others feel the market will continue surging.

The experts believe that the market is nuanced, a mixed bag if you will.

Some sectors will be strong, others weak; the trick is identifying which will increase rapidly and which will plunge.

Below is a list of the highest-valued motor cars sold at auction in recent history.
