Maranello, 3 October

Do you want to put your savings to good use? Then buy a classic Ferrari, or better still, buy a 250 GTO, if you manage to track one down. Few hours ago, news broke from the American Bloomberg agency, that one of these amazing cars went for no less than 52 million US Dollars, which is a record for a car. Even more impressive is the 49% increase compared to the sale of another of the 39 GTOs produced in Maranello and sold last year.

This model is considered as the most desirable to own,” commented Don Williams, the owner of one of the most important concessionaires of classic cars in California,” when talking to Bloomberg. “It’s like the Mona Lisa in that it has a special mystique. If one owns a GTO then one has an amazing collection.”

There are other multi-million offers for the other GTOs in circulation, but as usual, no one is prepared to talk about it. However, it’s not by chance that the rating given Ferrari by the HAGI (Historic Automobile Group International) an association of eminent experts in this area, which has produced some financial figures that show an increase in the market value of these classic cars, that has grown by 54.2% in 2013. “Nothing else haws grown at this rate,” commented the founder of HAGI, Dietrich Hatlapa, adding that the value of the rarest Ferraris has increased by 15% per year over the last thirty years.
