The oil leak & the old Rockstar

♔ ‘If it’s comfortable, easy to start, and has Bluetooth, it’s not iconic. It’s an appliance.’

Five cars.

One unifying theme: worship.

Whether you own them, chase them, or admire them behind a velvet rope at Pebble Beach, these icons define automotive royalty.

From Gullwings to gold-lined engine bays, they’re as collectable as Picassos and occasionally just as pricey.

Forget spreadsheets — this is wealth with wheels.

Five Cars Every Collector Should Know

1955:  Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing

• First, with fuel injection. Fastest of its time. Those doors? Not a gimmick — a necessity. Germanic theatre at 160 mph.

1961: Jaguar E-Type Series I

• Enzo Ferrari nearly fainted when he saw it—disc brakes, a monocoque body, and a silhouette that still melts monocles.

1962: Ferrari 250 GTO

• V12 thunder, coach-built curves, and racing pedigree make grown men weep. Only 36 exist. Most are in vaults. Or dreams.

1987: Porsche 959

• Turbocharged nerd genius. It’s faster than its era deserved, with AWD wizardry and Kevlar everything. It whispered while others shouted.

1992:  McLaren F1

• Naturally aspirated V12. Gold engine bay. Central seat. No ABS. Just you, physics, and the best thing Gordon Murray ever dreamt.

♔ ‘They leak oil, start drama, and bankrupt you slowly — like the best kind of old rockstar.’
