Modern small series cars as classic pearls of the future?
10/30/2023
Actually, special bodies more or less died in the sixties. But not completely, and even today cars are still being produced in very small numbers that differ significantly from the donor vehicle. They fit (or fit in) with the trend of car-savvy investors paying a lot of money for rare and special cars.
Two examples:
As a 2021 Nissan GT-R50, 18 cars were created with the help of Italdesign, which cost EUR 990,000.
Those who also asked for a hydraulically controlled rear wing paid EUR 60,000 more. The 11th of the 18 cars will be offered in Munich on November 25, 2023 for EUR 950,000 to 1.15 million.
BMW is also getting in on the small series game. The Munich-based company launched an extensively modified BMW M4 with 553 hp and manual transmission (!) as the 3.0 CSL, which was announced with a sales price of around EUR 750,000. There are to be 50 of them, to mark the 50th anniversary of the M division. And they are painted in the classic BMW motorsport colors that already adorned the original 3.0 CSL in the early seventies.
RM/Sotheby's can offer the 44th of these 50 cars, estimated at EUR 800,000 to 1.2 million.
If the two cars were to be resold close to the minimum, the first owner would hardly have made any money. However, he didn't drive either, because in both cases less than 200 kilometers were covered. So these were pure investments.
The question is how good these cars will be in storage after five or ten years, how expensive they will be to maintain and how the value of the car will develop. You will be able to observe the current assessment of the scene on November 25, 2023 in Munich ...
