Specialist auction house H&H Classic handles everything from 1890s Brighton runners to 1990s F1 cars. With only six auctions a year, it can arrange its catalogues with incredible attention, says head of sales Damian Jones. ‘The wider economic factors which have made classic cars attractive as an alternative asset class remain in place,’ he says. ‘Buy the best example that you can afford.’
Jones, whose dream car is a Ford GT40 Chassis 1075, is canny when it comes to advice on buying: ‘The biggest returns will come with the biggest risks. Those who grew up playing Gran Turismo and Grand Theft Auto will soon be collectors, and some of the most popular cars from such computer games could prove wise investments long-term.’
