MERCEDES BENZ C63 AMG 507 EDITION

Collectibility Rating

The C63 AMG 507 Edition ran from 2013 and had an increase in power to 507 PS (373 kW; 500 hp) at 6,800 rpm. Torque was 610 N.m / 5,200 rpm. If you've driven any C63 AMG you'd know that this extra power is totally un-necessary and excessive, however, that is exactly what this car is all about, EXCESS! The 507 has a black series bonnet, different AMG wheels some AMG sports cosmetic bits, better brakes, special designo paint and a choice of a few different interiors (“porcelain desingo” leather or black leather with various Alcantara bits) (credit to Wiki). You get all that for about double the price of a normal C 63 AMG ..(at today’s Japan auction market prices).

PORSCHE 911 930 TURBO

Collectibility Rating

Here's a fine example of one of the most collectable cars of our times, the Porsche 911 930 Turbo. This example is part of the H program, which produced 1,158 Turbo models from August 1986 to July 1987, however, was first registered in Japan in 1993 (and this is the date used in the auction system). Due to Japanese emissions regulations, the 930 was not available by authorized Porsche dealer in Japan from 1980 - 1985 so they would have been privately imported (or by non-authorized Porsche dealer's). The Porsche 911 930 was produced until 1989 before being replaced by the (now) very collectable Porsche 911 964.

MAZDA RX-7 SPIRIT R TYPE A (FD3)

Collectibility Rating

Here we have an investment that will rival any virtual currency or social media company of our day, the Mazda RX-7 Spirit R Type A. It was only five years ago when I was dicussing prices with a client and the ¥2 million price tag one of these seemed a lot, in hindsight I should've probably bought one because it would have been a 150% return on investment over five years! I'm am very sure the bull run on Mazda RX-7 Spirit R's is not over for a long time.
