At TheCarCrowd, we don’t just help investors build portfolios of collectible cars, we also have a proven track record of realizing value and delivering impressive returns. Through our unique approach to car syndication, we’ve successfully purchased, restored, and sold a wide variety of vehicles, generating strong profits for our investors. In fact, the average return across all of our assets has been over 30%.
Let’s take a closer look at some of the standout exits that demonstrate the strength and depth of our strategy.
Renault Clio V6: A Small Investment with Big Gains
One of our most notable exits was the Renault Clio V6, a car with both rarity and appeal to passionate collectors. We acquired this iconic hot hatch for just over £33,000 and sold it for £38,000 just 9 months later. This generated an annualised return over 35%, highlighting the potential for strong returns even with a lower-value asset. It’s an excellent example of how cars with strong enthusiast demand can deliver solid results in a relatively short period.

Lotus Omega: Restored to Perfection, Sold for Profit
Another key success story was our Lotus Omega, which we purchased, meticulously restored, and then sold to a client in South America. This car had all the hallmarks of a great investment, performance pedigree, rarity, and a dedicated following. After restoring the car to its full glory, we sold it for over £55,000 far exceeding our purchase price and restoration costs. This sale demonstrates our ability to unlock value through careful restoration and global market access. The car's new owner in South America now enjoys a rare and stunning performance machine, while our investors received significant returns on their initial investment.

Honda Integra Type R DC2: Patience Pays Off with Global Reach
The Honda Integra Type R DC2 is another testament to TheCarCrowd’s strategic patience and expertise. We purchased this car for under £10,000 and then patiently held onto it for nearly three years while we awaited the regulatory changes that would allow the car to be legally imported into North America. After the import restrictions were lifted, the cars value soured close to £20,000. This exit wasn’t just about holding an asset, but about recognizing the value in waiting for the right market conditions. Our investors were rewarded with an incredible return and proof that strategic patience and global market access can lead to substantial profits.

Lancia Delta Integrale: From Bargain to High Demand
One of our most exciting exits was the Lancia Delta Integrale, a car we purchased for just under £100,000, it was already collector grade. With its iconic rally heritage and growing fan base, this asset was always one with great potential. We helped raise the profile of this iconic asset even further doing multiple social media videos with influencers such as Jodie Kidd. After a period of holding and generating significant interest, we sold the car for over £120,000, realizing an annualised return over 30%. This return showcases the increasing demand for iconic, performance-focused cars, and how bringing them into the light can further enhance their value.
