    Maybe a Ferrari....not sure how much joy looking at a bottle of Rothschild brings, at the end of the day most hard assets are also investments not very different from Stocks and Bonds.

    the difference is if and when hard assets go down 40 percent everyone wants to buy the. when stocks go down 40 percent everyone wants to sell them.

    Do another poll and look back again in 10+ years. Poll more modest but collectible F cars like the 599GTO, 365BB, 575SA, 550B, 458SA, etc. Doubt I'll be around in 10 years time but I'd put my $$$ on the 599GTO to have the strongest return (then again I'm biased).

    Interestingly, just the opposite has happened, they've gone up, but yet everyone seems to want to buy them.

    Lol u can't have it both ways - either the market is softening which means there are less buyers or its a frenzy and everyone wants to buy something. from the past week of posts it seemed you were in the former camp.

    It has definitely softened post Pebble Beach last August. I was referring to the frenzy for the last 2 years prior.

    Each or any of the F-Supercar collection will be worth investing in at present. Long term, I doubt you could go wrong. Particularly if you choose to enjoy it along the way.

    My money is on the F-40 for hyper collect ability down the road followed by the 288 then the Enzo.

    if u market cap adjust the f40 is the most valuable - that's been and continues to be my thesis - there are 6 times as many f40s as 288s and the f40 still managed to trade within 60 to 70 percent of the 288

    if there were 1200 enzo, 1200 288gtos, and 1200 f50s, what do you guys think the values of the those cars wld be?

    That's a good way of looking at it.

    In GBP grade A
    F40 3
    F50 6
    288 6.5
    Laf 3.7
    Enzo 4.2
    As mentioned previously the main problem is finding Grade A cars, very few are available. A few average and questionable cars floating around.

    I wonder how many US F50 owners are the original owner ? I guess the question could be asked for all the cars listed above ... incredible where they've gone in the last 20 years or so ( that's about the time I joined FChat and started watching this stuff )

    Seeing that the supply is very thin on the ground for at least 4 of the 5 cars mentioned, my view is we will see a 20 % increase by early next year, Looking at 3 of the models,
    F40 3.5 GBP
    F50 7-7.5 GBP
    288. 7.5 GBP 8 GBP
    By the end of 2026

    they've become too expensive and in a way a victim of their own success where people don't drive them anymore - this by extension has made people more aprehensive about driving the newer Ferrari hypercars

    They have become works of art, Ferrari will never make anything like them again. They should be preserved and kept original if possible. What is sad is the amount of total restorations that are taking place.. or cosmetic mechanical restorations.. They are only factory original once.
