Analysis: How Many Classic Cars Can You Buy For One Bugatti?
Updated: May 19
Life is about trade offs. And so are cars. You could buy X but then you can't buy Y. Well if you're in the situation of weighing up whether to buy 1 Bugatti or 26 Bristol's we've got you covered.
We've analysed over 100,000 sales since 2020 of cars produced pre-2001 to analyse the median price, by make, for the major brands around the world.
If you're all in for a Bugatti the median price stands at £622,376. For that money, you could get 4 Lamborghini's, 5.7 Aston's or 7.4 Ferrari's.
If you're more about the volume game, you could have almost 20 Austin-Healey's instead, 25 Rolls Royce's or 27 Alfa Romeo's.
