Wheeler Dealers: Season 6 (2009)

More Photos

First, we need to address the rather large elephant in the room. The Ferrari Dino 308 GT4 has experienced a £50,000 rise in value, which can only be described as stratospheric. What makes that figure more incredible is that Mike bought his example for just £3,750 in 2009.

You can only imagine the facial expressions made when we learned that Mike bought a 1987 Porsche 944 Turbo and a 1986 Audi Quattro for the combined total of £6,600. That same total these days? That will be around £35,500, please.

We cannot quite fathom why the humble Beetle has not hit sky high prices. They are a popular cult car with a huge following. And that is without mentioning the endless appearances as Herbie the Love Bug. Decent examples are still around for reasonable money, making them a tempting proposition.
