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. 
 
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.

Why The 996.2 GT3? 
 
Controversial model: 
The 996 was a controversial model when it was first released and it took die-hard fans of the marque quite some time to appreciate this turning point for Porsche. But nearly 25 years on purists are starting to realise how good the 996.1 and 996.2 911 truly are. 
 
Switch to water cooling: 
With Porsche using a mid-engine, air-cooled configuration for over 50 years it was no surprise that the 996.1 GT3 (replicated in its predecessor 996.2) with its water-cooled flat-six, was met with some objections from purists who had come to know and love Porsches' 'classic' setup. But it was vital for Porsche to switch it up in order to save them from financial ruin, as great as the air-cooled engines of old were, and still are. Greater practicality, engine efficiency and emission regulations forced the 911 into a new direction. 
 
First GT3 and loved nowadays by purists: 
It may not have been welcomed with open arms back in the late 90s but 20 years on purists are starting to realise how good the 996 truly is. The GT3 was the first to bear that nameplate, which carried on throughout the 911 generations. It was intended for competition in the GT3 cup series and in fact is a road-legal track car. 
 
Limited production: 
Only 2,313 units of the 996.2 GT3 were produced. This number has increased with each iteration of the GT3 in contrast the 991.2 GT3 production units were around 9,500 making the 996.2 GT3 the second-ranking model after 996.1. 
 
Automotive history: 
Rarity, innovation, and historic significance, together create a great recipe for potential appreciation. As the car that started generation GT3 cars, the 996 is classed as the original ‘one to have’ among purist collectors looking to grab a slice of automotive history. 
 
Why exactly THIS, 996.2 GT3 
 
Desired By Collectors 
The combination of Basalt Black Metallic and the iconic ‘elephant ear’ Recaro bucket seats on this 996.2 GT3, is highly sought after by enthusiasts and collectors alike. Pair that together with it has the gated 6-speed manual transmission it is a sought-after example of one of Porsche's finest sportscars. 
 
An Exemplary Model 
Being delivered new to Porsche Centre Reading on March 8th, 2005, and being solely serviced and maintained by Porsche main dealers its entire life. The History folder is huge with full invoices dating back to 2005 accompanied by the certificate of authenticity and a letter directly from Porsche Reading. This seven-owner car has been cherished all its life, with full main dealer history. Each owner continuing where the previous one left off, taking up the challenge of maintaining the perfect interior and exterior condition. All panels are perfect, as is the Basalt Black paint something which can be hard to come by on these track-focused machines. 
 
Raw and Analogue Driving Thrill 
The 3.6 litre engine named the 'Metzger' after its designer, whilst no longer air-cooled is still a mechanical masterpiece. The naturally aspirated six-cylinder engine screams its way to 8,000 rpm and is happiest when at the redline. 
 
Past Performance 
Porsche 996 GT3 has seen an average price increase of over 13.78% between 2018 and 2023 inclusive. According to data taken from ClassicGT.

The price of €108,500 includes the Splint Invest platform fee and external maintenance costs of €8,750. €99,750 can be allocated to the vehicle.

Track Record

The mission at TheCarCrowdis to give investors across the globe the opportunity to invest in one of theWorld’s fastest appreciating asset classes.

Investment in classic cars is an effective way of diversifying a portfolio, indicated by fact that 81% of ultra HNWs have at least 1 alternative asset such as classic cars within theirportfolio. The Knight frank 2023 index shows that classic cars have appreciated 185% in the last decade and 25% in the last year. In the last 10 years, only beaten by rare whiskey; classic cars are consistently in the top 2 highest performing luxury asset classes. 
 
However classic cars as an asset class is not as widely adopted as it should beas a diversification technique. Only 13% of mass affluent investors (mainstream) have any form of classic car investment in their portfolio due to the perceived high barriers to entry including:

<ul>
	<li>Lack of awareness of the category,</li>
	<li>Skill and experience in selecting the right asset,</li>
	<li>Access to acquire the right assets,</li>
	<li>Space to store, experience and resources to maintain the vehicle,</li>
	<li>Capital available to buy the whole car,</li>
	<li>Lack of awareness of regulated platforms to enable fractional investment.</li>
</ul>

But the business case for this asset class is proven. The mission at TheCarCrowd is to give investors across the globe the opportunity to invest in one of the World’s fastest appreciating asset classes. 
 
TheCarCrowd is enabling investors to diversity within the category with cars from the 1960s classics to modern day supercars. 
 
With some vehicles achieving more than 38% in a single year and 20% acrossthe portfolio, TheCarCrowd has&nbsp;been able to give investors strong returns so far from afully asset backed investment.
