Andrew Shirley, Head of Luxury Research at Knight Frank, examines the market for luxury investments

his time last year classic cars

still had a firm grip at the top

of the Knight Frank Luxury

Investment Index (KFLII), but that all

changed with the introduction of rare

Scotch whisky into the mix.

With 10-year growth of 540%, according

to the Knight Frank Rare Whisky 100

Index – created for us by the experts at

Rare Whisky 101, even classic cars couldn’t

compete, especially as the market has

started to lose momentum.

Although the HAGI “Top” Index, which

we use to track the performance of classic

cars has grown by a highly respectable

190% over the past 10 years, annual growth

to June 2019 slipped into negative territory

with prices sliding 5%.

Art, meanwhile, rose 10% over the same

period – Rabbit, a work by the pop artist

Jeff Koons, set a record for a living artist

when it went under the hammer for just

over $91m in May – while investment-grade

fine wine was up 9%.

Gear change

“The money guys have gone elsewhere,”

says HAGI’s Dietrich Hatlapa when I ask

him why classic car prices have come back.

Donald Trump’s clarification of Section

1031 of the Internal Revenue code regarding

classic cars, has also dampened the market

somewhat, he adds. “What we’re seeing

now is the return of the collector.”

“In terms of traded values, the expected

differentiation and outperformance

between automobiles with notable history

or sought after rarity, including brand new

supercars, is continuing,” confirms Peter

Neumann from Connecticut-based classic

& collectible car advisory firm Chrome

Strategies Management.

“From a more positive perspective the

‘lifestyle’ element of the hobby continues

to expand rapidly, and awareness outside

the bounds of traditional participants

is widespread. We see more planning

around best-practice buying, holding,

and planning for the future. The hobby is

‘growing up’,” adds Mr Neumann.

“The direction of the collector car

market in the U.S. continues to be set by

younger enthusiasts – primarily Gen-X

(1965-1981),” points out John Wiley Senior

Data Analyst at specialist insurer Hagerty.

“Their interests in vehicles such as

vintage trucks and SUVs, along with

useable cars and bikes in the traditional

segments, will shape what’s in demand.

As the more numerous Millennials (1982-

2000) grow-up and become wealthier,

expect further shifts along these lines.”

Big money

Despite the slowdown, the best cars are

still making serious money, albeit off the

back of lower sell-through rates at auction

where fewer cars are hitting their top or

even low estimates.

The benchmark Monterey sales this fall

were a good example of the current market.

Overall, just over $245m worth of cars were

hammered down, still a lot of metal, but

well short of the $371m achieved last year.

However, nine cars managed to break

the $5m barrier. The top seller was a

McLaren F1 which RM Sotheby’s got away

for $19.8m – a world record for the model.

Other notable successes included $6.4m for

a James Bond Aston Martin DB5 – replete

with all the gadgets from 007’s Goldfinger

outing – and $7.7m for our cover star, a

1965 Ford GT40 Roadster Prototype.

The $6m paid for Nicki Lauder’s 312T F1

car also highlighted the ongoing demand

for historic grand prix cars, notes Mr

Hatlapa. “F1 is a hot market right now.”

Milestones

This year also marks a number of historic

classic car milestones, with Bentley and

Zagato both celebrating their centenaries.

Fittingly best in show at Pebble Beach

this year was a 1931 Bentley 8-litre Gurney

Nutting Sports Tourer (pictured below left),

owned by Sir Michael Kadoorie.

Meanwhile at the other end of the

collector market, the last ever VW Beetle

rolled off the production line earlier this

year – truly the end of an era. A 1977 “bug”

with just 128 miles on the clock made

$61,000 at the Monterey sales. Rare special

editions can make much more.

100 years of BentleyTop 10 most collected Bentleys in US UHNW collections*

How did you get into classic cars and what was the first vehicle that you bought?

Like many people who are interested in

classic cars, I was born into it. I grew up

racing, restoring, buying and selling cars

because that’s what my father did in his

spare time. When I was 16, I was gifted

a 1967 Volvo 122s station wagon with a

wooden roof rack by my dad – it was navy

blue with a maroon interior and probably

the slowest machine on the road. I was

desperate to get into something faster. As

soon as I had the money, I bought a 1969

Alfa Romeo 1750 GTV, which was by far the

coolest car in the parking lot at my high

school. Mission accomplished.

How did your collection grow and what’s in your garage now?

My dad raced and restored Austin Healeys

and so I’ve always been into European

cars. Over the years I’ve had many more

Alfa Romeos, including a 1986 GTV6 when

I was at college in upstate New York. The

passenger door wouldn’t close properly

when it was cold out – basically the entire

school year – and it would swing open

whenever I took a left-hand turn. It made

for fun dates. Like other people my tastes

have gone in phases and my collection has

grown and shrunk with life events. At one

point I was really interested in cars from

the 1980s and 1990s, and went through

three E34 BMW M5s and two Cosworth

Mercedes 190E 2.3-16s – the car that made

Ayrton Senna famous.

The most cars I’ve owned at one time

was nine – three of them were BMW M5s –

and with living in NYC it was pretty

tricky to find garages for all of them. Now

I’m down to a reasonable four, which I

think is a good number. One of them is a

McLaren MP4-12C, which I bought from

the dealer in Chicago and drove 1,000

miles back to New York. I also have a 2014

Porsche 911 50th anniversary edition,

which is a very special car, a rare Mercedes

station wagon from Sweden, and a 1965

Austin Healey 3000.

What has been your favourite car and why?

My Austin Healey. My father purchased

it in 1983 and we restored it together with

my brother. It was the car that I learned to

drive stick on and I drove it to my school

prom as well as many high school dates

on warm nights. In 2014 my dad sold it to

a surgeon when his wife said he had too

many cars. I found out days later and was

crushed. Miraculously, earlier this year I

was looking though Hemmings late one

night and saw it for sale. Straight away

I left a message for the seller – he didn’t

return my call immediately and made me

sweat it out for 36 hours – but I got it back

and now it will never be sold.

What is your best driving memory?

One of my most recent fun memories

was when I drove the McLaren back from

Chicago with a friend. We went through the

Aleghenny mountain range, across lots of

farmland and down the occasional dirt road.

People would crowd round us like it was a

spaceship. I convinced this same friend to

drive my 50th Anniversary Porsche 911 back

from Ohio as well. These adventures are my

favorite part of the hobby.

Is there a dream car you’d like to add to your collection?

If money was no object, it would have to

be a McLaren F1. On a more practical level

I’m looking for a Porsche 911 S 1965 to 1967

in Irish green – I just love that color. Early

911s are such wonderful cars to drive and

live with.

What do you enjoy most about being the head judge at the Americana Manhasset Concours?

There are two elements that keep me

coming back. What I really love is to walk

from car to car and speak to the owners

and get the stories behind their vehicles.

Classic car owners are some of the nicest

people you can meet, and they love sharing

intimate details about the history of their

cars, even with people they’ve only just

met. I also just love being in the judging

room at the start of the day and getting

to set the tone and conversation with

my judges for each of the classes. And of

course the concours is a great event,

there’s something for everybody.

Which of the cars that you’ve judged really stand out?

I would say it’s some of the owners rather

than specific cars that have stood out to me.

Two of them in particular: Glenn Simon

and his Ferraris and Phil Schwartz and

his Corvettes. Glenn is somebody who is

dedicated to doing things perfectly, but

simultaneously seems to be able to stay

so laid back. Phil has a great attitude and

his cars are some of the very rarest and

best examples.

Apart from Americana Manhasset are you involved with any other classic car events?

Yes, I run two events which are very different.

The Bridge is an invitation-only, non-judged

show held at the former Bridgehampton

Race Circuit. I started it four years ago with

two partners and it’s absolutely blown up.

To begin with we had 60 cars, but this

year there were over 260. Owners fly them

in from all over the world and I have

thousands of people phoning up asking if

they can take part. I’d say it’s now one of

the premier automotive events in the US.

I also co-founded CarPark, which is NYC’s

curated cars & coffee. It happens three to

four times a year and is very laid back,

there could be 1,000 people and 200 cars of

all shapes and sizes.

By profession you’re a lawyer who’s worked on some pretty high profile cases; which is more stressful, standing up in court or choosing a concours winner?

[Laughs] Well, actually, I don’t find either

of them particularly stressful. Both are

labors of love. When you’re judging cars it

can be a bit political, but you just have to

put that to one side.

Featured in the May 2000, issue of “Architectural Digest”, one of

its creators described it as a marriage of American Shingle style and

English Arts and Crafts.

Its floor plan encompasses a unique and open feeling with

public rooms in the west wing and service and leisure rooms in

the east wing. Each wing has its own spectacular staircase; the

east accesses all three floors; the west accesses only the second

floor that houses five generous bedroom-bath suites. The ultimate

retreat and entertainer’s delight, the property includes ample

parking, an attached four-car garage, and an oversized pool with

expansive brick patios and a delightful pool house.

Upper Brookville has long been a popular location for leaders of

industry and finance to build their grand estates.

Its beautiful, wooded countryside is dotted with gorgeous

properties and residents enjoy an ideal location convenient

for boating, golf, equestrian facilities, quaint village shopping

and museums.

And when work sadly beckons, close proximity to the

Long Island Railroad means Manhattan is just around

40 minutes away.

ucked away on five magnificent acres in the North Shore

village of Upper Brookville, a mystical and, perhaps,

even magical estate welcomes all with a warm and

charming presence.

Built at the end of the twentieth century, but looking like it was

built at the beginning of that century, it presents a conundrum.

What is its architectural style?

Its rustic character evokes a love of nature. Is it patterned after

an Adirondack “grand camp”? How about a Handsel and Gretel

house in the middle of its own enchanted wooded playground? Was

it found in the pages of J.R.R. Tolkein book?

No. The answer is in the name of the architectural firm that

designed and custom built it. Ike Kligerman Barkley are well known

for their amazing ability to combine pieces of varying architectural

styles into stunning eclectic masterpieces.

Such is this amazing home. It is exquisitely crafted and designed

with the finest of materials and craftsmanship to provide luxury

and a casual elegance ideal for “Gold Coast” living.

It is very comfortable for family living as well

as entertaining on a grand scale and could appeal to

the most discerning of buyers.
