Time to sell that 9112.7 RS and invest in a couple of these.

Like any collectable high-end vintage item, there are trends in the classic car market. Values can fluctuate wildly, with the Porsche 911 2.7 RS having increased in value by 669% in the last decade. But that one isn't likely to go up a whole lot more, and experts are looking to try and predict which car will be the next to shoot up in value. James Knight of Bonhams sees the Ferrari Belinetta Boxer as a likely candidate, with the 365 GT4 BB being the best.

The 365 GT4 Berlinetta Boxer was the first Ferrari road car to have a mid-engine flat-12, and being first is always valuable. And as Knight put it: "It has the purest aesthetic form: who can resist those six exhaust stubs in two banks of three? It was Ferrari's first mid-engined road car. It is the rarest variant of BB, just 390 or so built with around 60 destined for the UK market. And, when compared with how Daytona, Miura and Countach prices have moved, I'd suggest they look good value." The 365 GT4 BB should not be confused with any of the many models with confusingly similar names, those are valuable too, but probably won't shoot up unexpectedly.
