THE MARKET

We expect to outperform industry benchmarks by employing our insight and market knowledge to source the best-performing cars and invest in those which have yet to realise their full market value.

Kidston K500

The Kidston K500 Index is a benchmark market data provider for the classic car sector. It maintains a list of 500 of the world’s most important classic cars and includes all major auction results for these since 1994 (over 30,000 results). The Index has shown a 68% growth in the average auction values over the last 5 years.

“…a study published in March by property firm Knight Frank …

estimated that art pieces had risen by 252pc in a decade, beaten only by

classic car values, up by 487pc.”

up 16.57% in 2015.

INVESTMENT STRATEGY

“We believe select cars currently valued between £100-250k have the greatest potential for growth.”

Current market conditions allow for above average returns to be made from selective rare, historically important or unique cars. The top end of the market has already achieved significant growth, which is in the process of stabilising. Two such examples are the 1973 Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7 and Mercedes 300SL ‘Gullwing’ from the mid-1950s.

Capital will be deployed to build a diverse portfolio of cars. We maintain a database of cars we have identified which we expect will perform well in the near term. In addition, we have access to several private collections which are not on the market.

We expect the majority of vehicles we source to require some level of restoration. Some will require minor remedial work to ensure originality and others will be ‘barn-finds’ requiring complete restoration.

All vehicles will be prepared to achieve maximum returns upon sale. All work and quality control will be overseen by our Technical Advisors to ensure the cars are the best on the market and thereby maximising the return.

“Our network contains some of the world’s top classic car restorers and race

car preparation specialists.”
