Classic Fords provide a better return on investment than vintage Ferraris, according to a recent study.
Classic Car Auction Results, which collates the results of car auctions from around the world, found that in the past two years, classic 70s-era Fords were selling for around 3.4 times their worth in the mid-90s.
In comparison, Ferraris from the 1970s were going for an average of 3.2 times what they were worth in the same time period, meaning that Fords provided a greater return on investment.
Fords better than Ferraris?
Considering that Fords from that decade, which include icons like the Capri and the original Escort, cost much less than the typical Ferrari, this greater return is surprising, the company says.
Other standout performers include cars from the likes of Aston Martin and BMW, with some Astons now worth more than four times what they were selling for during the 1990s.
BMWs have seen their trading prices swell even further, with some going for an average of 5.6 times what they were worth two decades ago.
Aston Martin and BMW also standout investments
A spokesperson for Classic Car Auction Results said: “What we can see from the data, is that since the early 90s the brands that have increased in value the most are Aston Martin and BMW, which are now trading for 4.4 and 5.6 times their 1990s price respectively.
“So if you, or your parents, put money into a 70s classic back in 1990, then an Aston, BMW or Ford would have made you the most return on your investment.”
