Classic cars: our offer

“Money may not buy happiness, but I’d rather cry in a Jaguar than on a bus”

Françoise Sagan

Aurum et Adamas SA can act both as a dealer, buying a vehicle suited to the clients’ needs or as a broker, looking for a buyer for the sale of your vehicle.

In addition, we are in contact with important dealers and collectors and we can play a primary role as intermediary in the negotiations as well as carry out appraisals and / or evaluations for your vehicles.

Advantages of buying a classic car

Buying a historic car, but above all an antique or a vintage car, for purposes of Asset Protection, Wealth and Inheritance Tax Planning, is useful and recommendable for a number of reasons, including:

Financial decorrelation
The prices are not correlated with the performance of financial markets and the value doesn’t depend by the use on the road, as is the case in the evaluation of circulating cars.

Portability
Although it is quite big, a car is not a real estate and it can therefore be transported, for example to be sold to a collector in another country, in a different currency as well.

Usability
Cars also combine personal passion, if clients have one in this sense. As specified, classic cars can also circulate according to particular conditions (so, unlike other safe-haven-assets, they also have a practical use).

Spare parts
They can, at worst, be sold even for pieces. In fact, it is less known that, as it is often done with companies (which are bought whole to be sold then in parts, whose value sum can sometime exceed that of the whole company), the total value of the components of a classic car (as spare parts or as collectibles) may even exceed the value of the whole car.
