1975 Ferrari 365 GT4 BB auctioned by RM Sothbys<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

There are many reasons to own a car. For most car lovers, the obvious\u00a0push factors are\u00a0the artistic and heritage values. But the one least discussed, or at least only kept nominally in mind, is that unlike the purchase of a new car, owning a classic car is usually an investment.<\/p>\n

On average, a new car depreciates in value at a significant rate \u2013 drive it out of the showroom and you\u2019re looking a 2\/3 the price. After 5 years, your new car is typically worth half by then. Classic cars, especially those that fine auction houses often offer, are a sound investment. If properly cared for, these out of production vintage beauties will go up in value simply because there aren\u2019t any being made anymore. That said, most of classic car owners will never dream of parting with their classic cars but in the back of your minds, at least one can rest easy that it\u2019s really an appreciating\u00a0 asset, especially if you buy classic cars of esteemed provenance and heritage.<\/p>\n

1958 Porsche 550A Spyder auctioned by Bonhams<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The\u00a0Museum of Modern Art in New York City once described this car thusly:\u00a0The body\u2019s subtle, swelling curves and depressions reflect carefully calculated geometries based on the ellipse. The most prominent feature\u2014the long, projecting hood\u2014is modeled with a distinctive \u2018power bulge\u2019 that runs down the hood\u2019s center to accommodate the powerful engine. Louvered air-intake panels penetrate the otherwise smooth surface. The hood curves down to a grille-less nose that sucks in air to cool the engine. Introducing our first classic car to own:<\/p>\n

1966 Jaguar E-Type Series 1 4.2-Litre Roadster auctioned by RM Sotheby\u2019s offered at $250,000 \u2013 $325,000 without reserve<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

1966 Jaguar E-Type Series 1 4.2-Litre Roadster<\/h2>\n

Auctioned\u00a0by RM Sotheby\u2019s, the\u00a01966 Jaguar E-Type Series 1 4.2-Litre Roadster<\/strong> is offered at\u00a0$250,000 \u2013 $325,000<\/span>\u00a0without reserve. The\u00a0open two-seater,\u00a0Jaguar E-Type roadsters is quite simply one of the most famous and instantly recognizable classic cars ever built.<\/span><\/p>\n

Taking design cues from the\u00a0D-Type, the famous,\u00a0sensuous curves were developed by Sir William Lyons, Malcolm Sayer, and William M. Heynes,\u00a0using wind tunnel testing and aircraft principles, giving the\u00a01966 Jaguar E-Type Series 1 4.2-Litre Roadster an aggressive countenance.<\/p>\n

Constructed around a lightweight monocoque\u00a0with\u00a0tubular sub-frame\u00a0for the engine, front suspension and steering, and an independent rear axle,\u00a0this open two-seater Jaguar E-Type is documented by its Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Certificate as having been originally delivered to Excel Electric Supply, of California, finished in special-ordered Black with a matching interior, soft top, and factory hardtop. Almost everything is original save for the refinished paintwork\u00a0lovingly restored Jaguar specialist Shaun Saunders,\u00a0returning the\u00a0E-Type Series 1 4.2-Litre Roadster into the Concours-level classic car that it is.<\/p>\n

1975 Ferrari 365 GT4 BB<\/h2>\n

Ferrari just celebrated their 70th anniversary and LUXUO was on hand to witness the\u00a0festivities involving\u00a0the Prancing Ponies, following which we were\u00a0invited to Ferrari Singapore\u2019s corporate headquarters\u00a0to talk to Dieter Knechtel, CEO of Ferrari Far East Hub. Offered for\u00a0$450,000 \u2013 $550,000<\/span>\u00a0without reserve, the 1975 Ferrari 365 GT4 BB<\/strong> was introduced in 1973, and it was Ferrari\u2019s first mid-engined production car, making it an important\u00a0milestone in terms of Ferrari\u2019s heritage.<\/span><\/p>\n

Under the bonnet of this classic super car is a 4,390 cc engine, with four Weber twin-choke carburettors giving the 1975 Ferrari 365 GT4 BB the output of 380 horses. The \u2018pea shooter\u2019 style exhaust pipes and triple rear lights distinguishes it from other similar looking\u00a0512B classic Ferrari. Furthmore, the Gerrari\u00a0365 GT4 BB is considered by classic car collectors\u00a0as the\u00a0purest of all the Berlinetta Boxer models and due to the fact it was more limited and delivered better performance thanks to its lightweight chassis.<\/p>\n

1958 Porsche 550A\u00a0Spyder<\/h2>\n

Auctioned by Bonhams, this\u00a0Le Mans and N\u00fcrburgring podium finishing 1958 Porsche\u00a0550A\u00a0Spyder is among the most original examples in existence. Further enhancing its provenance is the fact that this Spyder classic car is an Ex-factory works model.<\/p>\n

Nicknamed \u201cGiant Killer\u201d, the\u00a01958 Porsche\u00a0550A\u00a0Spyder earned this moniker thanks to its\u00a01.5-liter flat-four engine and its ability to push the Spyder into outperforming competitors with engines twice as big like those of Ferrari. This near-mint condition Porsche\u00a0550A\u00a0Spyder\u00a0has only superficial, minor repairs over the last 59 years. Reserve Price on Request.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
