Premium cars are historically depreciating assets — but specific model + milestone combinations are the exception.
Models that appreciated (last 10 years)
- Porsche 911 (993, 996 GT3) — average 12-18%/year
- Ferrari F355, 360, 458 — 8-14% (manual variants especially)
- BMW M3 (E30, E46 CSL) — 15-20%
- Mercedes 190E Cosworth — 10-14%
- Original Land Rover Defender — 22-28%
Classic criteria
- 25 years since production
- Original engine + chassis numbers
- Complete documentation
- Low mileage (typically under 100,000 km)
TRNC storage cost
- Premium garage storage: £180-£320/month
- Quarterly maintenance: £450-£700/year
- Collector insurance: £600-£1,200/year
Liquidity risk
Classics are hard to sell — TRNC's market is small, so expect 6-18 months to find a European buyer.
