MrDavo:
In the middle of selling my Classic 911 (via a specialist dealer on consignment, having got sick of timewasters and scammers), to fund a late 60's / early 70's Alfa GTV, so up to my eyes in following / researching classic prices at the moment.
They have gone mental, we can remember tatty E-Types struggling to sell for £900, and muggins here swapped his £800 CB750 sandcast for a £750 Norton in the 70's, but assuming £25k or so for a sandcast now, its going to take more than 'a few years' for a tenfold increase.
(puts on accountants hat)
However much we may loathe it (unless you have a cellar full of them), 'blue chip' classics do compete for serious investment money, especially when interest rates tank, and are sadly often bought by people with no real interest in them other than somewhere to park their filthy lucre. Motor vehicles are almost unique as an investment in that they are free of Capital Gains Tax if they do make money. Most classic bikes will appreciate, because people want them and they aren't making any more, but the 'blue chip' list is relatively short, Hondas' include sandcasts, NR's, CR750's probably Black Bombers too, and obviously any factory racer - they only made a handful, and HRC were buggers for crushing them at the season's end. The less of anything there are, and the more people lust after one, the crazier the prices get.
Other than exotica (limited run ones, that sell for telephone numbers) 911's did double over the last few years, but mine hit peak value over two years ago and hasn't shifted at all since, the 'expert' who values it for insurance has told me not to bother the last two renewals, even though its an easy £35 for writing a letter.
I can't see where another tenfold is going to come from for anything, unless we get mental inflation.

MrDavo,
all I can sy don´t do that.
We have our 84 carrera 3.2 since almost 20 years (it became part of the family) and some old car came and went since then.
One of them was a 2000 GTV.
A nice car with good looks but at the end of the day ist a cheap manfactured car.
My wife refused to drive with it.
A lot of money went into this car but it still was a clunker.
Compared to that an old 911 is as solid as a tank. With good brakes, roadability and still good performance.
I´ go for a 2002ti if you realy want to have a change.
Allington (Steve):
I had a 2000 GTV back in the 80’s and literally watched it drop apart (and rust) around me. Interior trim bits had a mind of their own and used to drop off at random.
I grass tracked a 2002ti before they were worth money too 😕
