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?
Risk Statement: As with any syndicate there is always an element of risk. Capital is at risk and the value of the assets can go down as well as up. 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. This syndicate opportunity is only suitable for High Net Worth, Sophisticated, Professional or Institutional investors.

What you had to say:
“It’s important to balance the Goldman Sachs propaganda machine with Goldman Sachs the money-making machine. Putting out a bearish note when others say the market is topping is likely a self-fulfilling prophecy that allows them to win big on short positions—for the short term. if you want to know what Goldman Sachs thinks, look at where they are putting their money.”
