How expensive has it become?
The Oldtimer Markt has published its price booklet for classic cars from 1920 to 1980. While a year ago the youngtimer prices were published in the special issue, this time it is the valuations of the older vehicles (including pre-war period). Of course, there are other ways to find out the prices of classic cars and modern classics these days, and we ourselves also offer valuations for five conditions for almost 10,000 classic cars . As with Oldtimer Markt, the values come from Classic Data.
But a booklet like this also has its charm. It motivates you less to do lengthy research than to browse through it. And you quickly find yourself leafing through it and answering the question of what your own classic car is worth today according to Classic Data. In addition to the valuations for condition 1 to 5, the classic car market booklet "Prices" also lists the price development over the last five years (for condition 3) and the new price at the time.
And so we learn that the Lotus Elan Sprint DHC in condition 2 is now being traded for EUR 31,600 and that prices are 20% higher than five years ago. Pleasing. Other cars, especially British cars and many of the pre-war cars, have tended to fall in price, while Japanese cars are obviously much more in demand today than they were five years ago.
A quick look at how expensive a Maserati Ghibli would be today, the beautiful coupé once designed by Giugiaro. Unfortunately, it is still very expensive, just like many other cars that you would have a thing for.
Yes, you can find out a lot and spend hours with the price booklet. But the EUR 8.90 charged is actually money well spent, even if you have to wait two years for the next update (the ratings are updated four times a year on Zwischengas).
And this is what the special edition looks like:
