The old car is a comprehensive characteristic. Here, first of all, the machines that have survived a certain number of years, t, t.e. by age. Someone attributes to the young animals, who got in the junior because of the technical or physical state, in which he is now located.
This category also implies rare machines that have become masterpieces of the global auto industry. As a rule, you can’t find retro cars on a regular secondary car market. Automobiles of such diamonds are carried out through special auctions, exposing to auction connoisseurs and collectors. Therefore, they belong to cars for the elect. For them, they become excellent investments.
Auto salary is a profitable business, sometimes scandalous and “unclean” in the hands.
We will not go far – in the history of our former country there are a huge number of examples of such automobiles in which even the most dominant leaders and rulers were involved. The last of which, m.Gorbachev, even attempted official flaws by collectors of ancient cars. The goal is to take them illegally from the country and then sell them at auctions. True, here is the money after such a car sale to the honor of the leader, not in the pocket of him, but in the party treasury.
Another dramatic example took place with the owner of a very rare Bugatti-13. Collector Evgeny Gurevich at one time restored the legendary athlete, and he participated on him in a rally in Moscow. A fraudulent car, think only, took free from Gurevich, supposedly for a car stand in the Polytechnic Museum. In fact, Bugatti was transported to the famous French collectors to the brothers Shlumphpf. Soviet officials for the cleverly organized “theft” received 12 thousand. green, which similarly became state. This famous car still stands in a car carrier in Marseille, and a sign flaunts near it: “Bought for nothing!”
Among the Russian anti -curls there was always a German Mercedes. Here are the fighting trophies brought after the war. Among which was the gigantic Mercedes-Benz 770k, which later got into the garage to Andrei Mironov. Then, after the release of the famous epic about Stirlitz, diplomats worked on the replenishment of the collections. And even now, when there is no longer a large and powerful country, there are many particularly valuable Mercedes in its open spaces, with compressors under the hood and a real value of times higher than the ultra -modern new items.
