LAST WEEKEND, THE first London Classic Car Show was hosted in the English capital, bringing together car enthusiasts and vintage rides from all over the region for display and to buy.
Prices generally spread from £100,000 to several millions, although there are often higher values that are not revealed because seller will opt for a closed-door auction.
“For many, it is an investment,” Samuel Laurence, a vintage car merchant in London, told Business Insider UK. “They do not lose value. Rather, it rises.”
Auto Express further supported that idea noting last year that “classic cars are now seen as a much better investment than savings accounts.”
If you’re thinking of getting into the game, Business Insider UK attended the event and we’ve highlighted some of the most interesting models, all of which are for sale.
This 135 Rolls Royce can be yours for £195,000.
For a little bit more, you can have this Bentley Lagonda from 1934. It costs £200,000.
This Jaguar is sold for £267,500.
It wasn’t only British cars on display. This Ferrari Dino from 1972 costs £300,000.
A Bugatti for £325,000.
Sometimes, people are ready to pay big figures by just seeing the chassis of the car. This piece of a Mercedes 600 is on the market for £500,000, while the rest of the car is renovated.

It’s time to go for a drive over Sally Gap and get stuck
I hate winter and I hate snow. I want spring – NOW!
I bet when anyone reads the above comment they are singing it in their head
Oh the weather outside is frightful
But the fire is so delightful
And since we’ve no place to go
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
It doesn’t show signs of stopping
And I’ve bought some corn for popping
The lights are turned way down low
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
When we finally kiss good night
How I’ll hate going out in the storm!
But if you’ll really hold me tight
All the way home I’ll be warm
The fire is slowly dying
And, my dear, we’re still goodbying
But as long as you love me so
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
Wish I could give this more than one green thumb. Sadly only 0.01mm snow on the cars on our road this am! :-(
Blame Canada.
Hmmmm last photo bit suspect..
^ ^ ^ off to google snowflakes
Let Fake Flake-Gate begin!!!
I always think snow looks different here. It’s wetter or something like it’s not real snow haha
That would be sleet.
No because it’s on the ground sticking like just not properly!
No because when it snows here the temperature is very rarely below zero, in the likes of Canada wheb it snows the temp is well below zero so the snow freezes
My wife over here in Sweden calls that wet snow! generally when we get snow here the temperature is at least around -3 degrees. The snow blows around like sand a lot of the time, it’s cold enough that it doesn’t melt on your hands, or clothes, or when the sun is out.
It’s very different to what I knew as snow at home.
A couple of weeks ago we had -15 degrees and sunny, it’s awesome! as much fun as warm weather methinks!
Here’s a picture of a lake we walk across:
I’m delighted to see my picture in there :-) It was a magical sight and a wonderful surprise to wake up to this morning.
Best send everyone home from work early, before the buses are taken off the roads early!!!!!
Can people send in more
