KEY TAKEAWAYS

• I had my fun with the Ferrari F40 but it wasn't my forever car
• Cars that appreciate are those with low mileage, are in as original condition and have only had one owner
• There are now dedicated platforms for selling cars and selling my car this way was a good way to get the best return
• The Ferrari F40 is  fun  to drive in short bursts more than over long periods of time
• Ferrari produce beautiful cars that are masterpieces of art
• There are a lot of people out there who want something different
• I had my time, enjoyed it and made some memories
• You shouldn't really buy a car as an investment you should buy because it's something you like and it makes you happy
• I like driving and have done some wicked road trips to Sweden
• I've owned and sold a few cars that have made money
• It's about rarity and being interesting - it has to be kinda cool or have something about it
• I'm going to wait until I find something that is special for me
• I need a daily practical car – RS4, an electric car – the fiat 500 converted to electric because now in the city you really do need to have an electric car
• McLaren F1 GTR is my all-time favourite car and for something old a 65 Porsche short wheelbase

‘Over time I've got more and more into cars'

‘It went for more than anyone thought it would because of the history and it had become a bit of a personality'
