This article discusses the recent acquisitions made by three virtual garages that host interesting models from international auctions. The three collectors, Cautious, Sober, and Wealthy, each purchased various vintage cars at different price points.
[The three virtual garages](https://tcct.com/news/category/virtual-garage/) that host the most interesting models from this year’s international auctions have been enriched with new acquisitions. The owners of the three garages include a vigilant collector who watches his money very carefully, someone we’ve named Cautious, a wealthy collector who pushes himself to purchases that almost reach one million, who goes by the name of Sober, and a collector who really aims high and only buys models that go for over one million.
Cautious, as always, took some very wise decisions by buying a 1973 Aston Martin V8, a 1969 Pontiac GTO Convertible to bring an American touch to his collection and also an impulse purchase: a Meyers Manx dune buggy from 1968. All together, they add up to a tidy sum: €147,959 ($177,639).
Sober, who invests serious money for a serious and forward-looking collection could not resist the temptation to bring home an Alpine Renault A110 1600S that competed in the Targa Florio in 1975. He wanted to pay homage to an important pre-war car such as the Stutz Bearcat of 1912 and also put down a significant sum on the 1999 Subaru 22B-STi that promises to increase significantly in price. A good investment: €861,352 ($1,025,566).
