kyska Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 Hi All, If you were to come into some liquid cash, not unsubstantial and wanted to invest, but not into more property or land, what would you people think of straight away? Not necessarily very high risk, but something worth a punt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVB Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 Unless I had inside information (which is illegal) i wouldn't consider punting on one asset. Diversification is the key. Otherwise go down the bookies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konnie Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 You have storage space, classic cars, or vintage tractors, No space, look at Britain's toys and the like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I was t thinking one basket, we've always invested in bricks and grass, just thinking of diversity really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaymo Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 1980's and early 90's golf gti, Peugeot 205 gti and of course either the ford escort xr3i or Rs turbo. The first three suggestions have already started making silly money- the Rs will follow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oowee Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 I would spread some on large warehouse units, doctors surgeries and student housing. Take a look at Tritax big Box, Primary Health Properties and Empiric Student Properties. All REIT's with a decent return and capital growth.

LondonLuke Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 (edited) Premium bonds whilst you decide Edited January 22, 2017 by LondonLuke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oowee Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 Aren't they all bricks and mortar? Albeit funds? Yes but different areas of risk from housing. My Thinking. UK is small so building big sheds is getting harder and with internet shopping we will need a lot more. NHS is a given on long leases. Up market student housing is a good punt if you dont have to deal with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wandringstar Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 (edited) I suppose the obvious on here, brand new berettas, or brownings, don't even fire them once, store them for ten years, should see a profit. air cooled Porsche have jumped in a big way, much as other classics, maybe buy one and enjoy it, then sell it on in 5 years. Rolexes as the gun idea. krugerrands. or, an absolute sure fire winner, buy a van, and window wash system and get a local youngster to build a round, give him 50 percent, its a sound investment if you do it right. buy a brand new car and do a bit of uber driving.

As an ex dairy farm we have mass storage already, I guess I'm just thinking of a diversity. Maybe stay safe and buy a house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digger Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 Alfa Romeo with V6 busso engine. I have a customer who invests in future classics which he stores. Along side his Rolls and two Ferrari he now has a 147 GTA and a 159 Reckons they will earn him good money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe stay safe and buy a house. room for your car collection then. 70's cars and bikes are fetching really good money now, even the really bad cars that you wouldn't have been seen dead in, 80's stuff is going the same way,some 90's cars and bikes can be had for peanuts, and if they're sought after, and mint, they could be worth a fair bit in10 / 20 yrs going by the trend.
