In the course of the financial crisis, not only private property was damaged; many investors lost their trust in securities and the promises of banks.
Alternative investments have experienced considerable growth in this context. This is not to tangible assets such as gold, art or real estate, but about investing in classic cars, young-timers and vintage cars, and in particular in classic Porsche!
The Financial Times called it 'Bedroom wall' syndrome that drives up price of 1980s sports cars. Classic Car values are now rising so fast that some owners can be significantly under-valued, according to a recent report in Britain's Daily Telegraph newspaper. The article draws attention to the fact that some owners have not kept their Classic Car valuations in tune with the great rises in the car's value. The 2.7 RS remains a true example of the power of classic car investment. For the rest of us, any air-cooled 911 might represent a sensible investment opportunity.

The History of the Porsche 911 from 1963 until 1998 - a short timeline...
The Porsche 911 is an icon with a captivating design. No other car has been so successful for so long. With only a few careful changes it has remained a favourite right up to the present day. This is not least because of its reliability. The genius of the 911 has inspired every single current Porsche model. For Porsche Classic the 911 models, right up to the Type 993, the latest model we currently look after, are of course very special.
