A youngtimer is a car that is not yet old enough to be considered an oldtimer (classic car), but it has reached a certain age and is desirable among collectors and enthusiasts. Although there is no fixed definition for what constitutes a youngtimer, they are generally considered to be cars that are at least 20 years old but not yet 30 years old. Oldtimers, on the other hand, are typically vehicles that are over 30 years old and in their original condition. Antique cars need to be at least 45 years old, although this can vary from country to country. Pre-war cars cover the years from 1919 to 1930. 
 
Such cars are very popular in Europe and North America. Since they are considered collector's items, insurance premiums are usually lower compared to modern cars, even though they can be more dangerous to drive. 
 
High return potential 
Automotive investments have achieved an average annual value appreciation of over 11% over the past 10 years. 
 
Rarity 
In the past, these cars, which are now in great demand, were built very little. For example, only 1400 examples of the legendary 300sl Gullwing were built. According to the Knight Frank 2023 index, classic cars have seen significant appreciation, with a 185% increase over the last decade. 
 
Market Growth 
Statista estimates the global classic car market revenue to be 30.9 billion U.S. dollars and its expected growth to be 8.8 percent annually until 2024.

The Renault Clio V6 is a high-performance sports car based on the Renault Clio hatchback. It was produced between 2001 and 2005. The most notable feature of the Clio V6 is its mid-engine layout, which means the engine is placed behind the front seats for improved weight distribution and handling. 
 
The Clio V6 is powered by a 3.0-liter V6 engine that produces 226 horsepower. It is rear-wheel drive and has a six-speed manual transmission. The performance figures of the Clio V6 are impressive, with a top speed of around 146 mph (235 km/h) and a 0-60 mph (0-97 km/h) acceleration time of around 6 seconds. 
 
Visually, the Clio V6 stands out with its wide and aggressive bodywork, flared wheel arches, and distinctive rear air intakes. The interior is focused on the driver, featuring sporty seats and a racing-style steering wheel. 
 
The Clio V6 is often praised for its thrilling driving experience and unique design. However, its mid-engine configuration and limited rear visibility can make driving challenging in everyday situations. The Clio V6 is considered a rare and collectible car, with a limited production run of just 1,626 units. 
 
Evaluation of the investment case: 
Car maintenance and storage costs are significantly higher than other asset categories, such as diamonds. This is important when evaluating the investment case. However, in the case of this particular young timer, it has low maintenance costs, which is favorable for the investment case. We evaluated the case by estimating the car's future value based on its historical performance, deducting the maintenance and storage costs, as well as Splint Invest fees. We then compared the case to the historical performance of similar cars (limited production, 20 to 40 years old). Here are the results: 
 
1. Lancia Delta HF Integrale EVO II:

<ul>
	<li>Number of produced vehicles: around 2,500</li>
	<li>Production years: 1993/1994</li>
	<li>Average annual value appreciation: 15%</li>
</ul>

If our Renault Clio model experiences the same value appreciation when it reaches the 30-year mark, considering costs, we would achieve an average annual value appreciation of 12.4%. 
 
2. Renault R5 Turbo I:

<ul>
	<li>Number of produced vehicles: 1,820</li>
	<li>Production years: 1980-1984</li>
	<li>Average annual value appreciation: 9.5%</li>
</ul>

If our Renault Clio model experiences the same value appreciation, considering costs, we would still achieve an average annual value appreciation of 6%. 
 
3. Ford Escort Cosworth:

<ul>
	<li>Number of produced vehicles: 7,145</li>
	<li>Production years: 1992-1996</li>
	<li>Average annual value appreciation: 7.7%</li>
</ul>

If our Renault Clio model experiences the same value appreciation, considering costs, we would still achieve an average annual value appreciation of 3.7%.

The price of € 70,150 includes the Splint Invest platform fee and external maintenance costs of € 15,400. € 54,750 can be allocated to the car.

Goodtimer

Managing Director / Owner 
 
Born in the fourth generation into one of the oldest Swiss garage families, Marcel A. Widler learned the profession of car mechanic and subsequently completed further technical training in Geneva and Paris as well as business management training in Zurich. This was followed by 6 years of development work at Renault and 18 years of international management work for Renault, Citroën and BMW. 
 
In 2001 Widler founded the present Autofocus AG, into which Goodtimer was integrated in 2004. In 2010, the purchase of a 4500m2 plot of land followed for the establishment of the Goodtimer Centre Eastern Switzerland. 
 
The love of originals and the passion for classic cars are the driving force for the proven expert and automotive technician, who primarily takes care of the condition and value expertise of the vehicles and is passionate about the purchase and sale of classic cars.

This is a concrete investment opportunity in which we have recalculated the expected performance given by the external expert (Goodtimer) and have thus checked whether a positive return can be expected after deducting all costs for storage and insurance. Furthermore, we have verified the existence, proper storage and insurance of the car.
