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 a McLaren MP4-12C? 
Historical Appreciation 
The McLaren MP4-12C has shown an average annual price appreciation of nearly 9% between 2021 and 2023. Due to its young age, the car still has significant potential for value appreciation. 
 
Pure Performance 
The McLaren 12C is known for its exceptional performance. It offers powerful acceleration, precise handling, and an exciting driving experience. 
 
Limited Availability 
In addition to its impressive performance, the McLaren 12C also offers exclusivity. McLaren vehicles are already considered rare assets, but reports indicate that only 2,040 McLaren 12C coupes ever left the factory. This makes it an exclusive car, especially when compared to its competitors like the Lamborghini Gallardo (of which nearly 14,000 units had left the factory by 2013). 
 
Racing Heritage and Innovation 
McLaren is a respected brand in the automotive world, known for its racing heritage and high-quality engineering. The 12C is remembered for its technological innovation, pioneering the use of a carbon fiber monocoque chassis, contributing to its lightweight and agile handling, as well as advanced aerodynamics. 
 
Why This McLaren MP4-12C? 
This McLaren MP4-12C was specifically sourced in the Left Hand Drive format. The car is in single ownership and has been passed down within the family since its purchase. It is finished in the famous McLaren Orange and features an extensive collection of McLaren Special Operations (MSO) additional extras, including the highly sought-after Carbon Ceramic brakes, lightweight forged wheels, the iconic Stealth pack, and nearly every other available option. 
 
Desired by Collectors 
The combination of McLaren Orange and the iconic Carbon Black and Saddle Tan leather seats in this 12C is highly sought after by enthusiasts and collectors alike. This is the car that introduced McLaren's revolutionary automatic transmission, which we now see in their entire iconic lineup. 
 
An Exceptional Model 
This particular car was delivered new to McLaren UK and is believed to have been one of the selected press vehicles for the market launch (explaining the extensive MSO options list on the car) before it was purchased at the end of 2013, where it has remained within a single family ever since. The car has been exclusively maintained by McLaren dealers and specialists throughout its life. 
 
True Investment Mileage 
This specific example has covered only 31,865 kilometers from new, with comprehensive historical documentation to support this claim. It remains one of the lowest mileage 12C Coupes on the market. 
 
Flying Under the Radar 
The McLaren 12C is highly regarded as one of the most pinnacle McLarens available, which paved the way for the cars currently available on the market today. 
 
A Strong Case for Investment 
This low mileage example has been meticulously maintained throughout its life, with a complete history from authorized dealers and specialists. All body panels are in perfect condition, as is the McLaren Orange paint, which can be challenging to find on these aluminum-bodied cars. The car is also in a Left Hand Drive (LHD) configuration, making it perfect for distribution in the US and European markets. Additionally, this car features a plethora of MSO options highly desirable to collectors and potential future owners.

The price of €108,700 includes the Splint Invest platform fee and external maintenance costs of €8,700. €100,000 can be allocated to the vehicle. 
Platform Fee Splint Invest: Compensation for the tokenization of the assets, the maintenance as well as the further development of the application and the costs related to the research and maintenance of the expert network.

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.
