Likeable classic cars increase in value faster
01/18/2016
The comparatively high prices for cars such as the VW Beetle, the Fiat Multipla, the VW Bus T1 or the Citroën 2 CV at auctions (as well as in dealer sales) never cease to amaze. BMW Isetta, Messerschmitt and other microcars also achieve high prices. What they all have in common is the popular appeal they enjoy. In terms of production figures alone, other cars that achieve similar or even lower prices should actually be more valuable, but the popular classics usually beat them. And for good reason.
In our question of the week " Do likeable classic cars increase in value?" , 77% of respondents were clearly in favor of this being the case.
Only 18% assumed that no trend could be discerned from the examples given and that these were only short-term market developments, while 4% of readers did not want to commit themselves to one answer or the other.
For the sake of completeness, the answers are also shown here in graphic form.
All answers and comments on previous questions of the week can be found in a separate topic channel.
And of course we have already asked the next question. In the new question, we want to know whether "continuation cars", i.e. racing cars from the past that are being rebuilt today, should be excluded from historic racing or compete in a separate class.
