Invest in Iconic Ferrari Collectibles 🏎️
The Ferrari Collection by TheCarCrowd
Now is your chance to invest in a collection of the most iconic Ferrari models, offered by TheCarCrowd.
Classic cars have been a remarkably resilient alternative asset, and Ferraris are leading the way.
Over the past 10 years, the collectible Ferrari index has delivered roughly ~11% IRR.
We're partnering with TheCarCrowd to acquire rare Left-Hand Drive models from the UK at prices up to 40% below US market values, holding for 4 years, then selling.
Each of these beauties is low mileage and in concours-level condition. 🤌
How it works:
Pricing arbitrage: Capitalize on UK-to-US pricing differentials for Left-Hand Drive Ferraris.
4-year hold: Retain assets for 4 years to allow for maximum appreciation.
Return: Export the collection to a US auction house for a high-profile sale.
Collection details:
We'll be acquiring the following vehicles:
Ferrari Testarossa: A cultural icon from Miami Vice and The Wolf of Wall Street, known for its distinctive design and powerful flat-12 engine.
Ferrari 328 GTS: The final model from Ferrari’s analog era, beloved for its pure driving experience.
Ferrari 355 Berlinetta: Featured in James Bond’s Goldeneye, this launched Ferrari into the modern supercar age with groundbreaking performance and design.
Interested in joining us & owning a part of this collection?

Past performance is not a guide to future performance and you may not get back the amount initially placed. TheCarCrowd is not regulated by the UK Financial Conduct Authority, although opportunities to join our syndicates aim to comply with all UK crowdfunding regulations. This opportunity is a private placement into a syndicate that will own the assets outright. Any deposited capital will not be protected by the Financial services Compensation Scheme.

“They both plan to spend and not make up for it. Neither party is willing to make the hard decisions on taxes/spending. The right's tax cut fairy tale is more damaging than the left's desire to help people with infrastructure and health care.”
Billionaires wanted it, but 66,737 everyday investors got it first… and profited
When incredibly rare and valuable assets come up for sale, it's typically the wealthiest people that end up taking home an amazing investment. But not always…
One platform is taking on the billionaires at their own game, buying up and offering shares of some of history’s most prized blue-chip artworks for its investors. In just the last few years, those investors realized representative annualized net returns like +17.6%, +17.8% and +21.5% (among assets held 1+ year).
It's called Masterworks. Their nearly $1 billion collection includes works by greats like Banksy, Picasso, and Warhol, all of which are collectively invested in by everyday investors. When Masterworks sells a painting – like the 23 it's already sold – investors reap their portion of any profits.
It's easy to get started, but offerings can sell out in minutes.
