Strap on your seatbelts as we dive into the rollercoaster ride that was the classic car market in 2024! Despite the overall market stagnation, some vehicles turned heads, displaying exceptional value jumps, while others took a plunge. Let's take a look at the die-hard fans of BMW, VW, Ford, Opel, and Renault and see how their favorite cars fared in this turbulent year.
The Upward Spiral: Stars of the Show
The Matra Bagheera from France stole the show with a jaw-dropping 98.6% value increase! This stunner wasn't the only one strutting its stuff, as the Opel Rekord C 1700 and Renault R4 GTL saw rises of 11.4% and 12%, respectively. Ford wasn't far behind, with the Ford Taunus 20M clocking in at an impressive 23.8% increase!
- Ford Models: In the past five years, the Ford Capri 2000 GT has witnessed notable growth, but 2024's figures were not disclosed.
- Opel Model: The Opel Admiral 2800 experienced a moderate dip of –1.7%.
- Renault Model: No significant drops were reported for Renault models.
The Downward Glide: Not All Great News
Sadly, not every classic car was as lucky. Despite the love from petrolheads, the BMW 2002 stumbled, with a steep –9.1% drop. Other heartbreaking declines include the new BMW class, VW Beetle 1303, VW-Porsche 914 2.0, and Porsche 356 1600 SC, which slid by –6.1%, –6.5%, –5.4%, and –4.8%, respectively.
Even though the market seems unpredictable, fear not, fellow aficionados! These changes solely serve as a reference. The value fluctuations for individual vehicles may vary depending on supply and demand. In the grand scheme, the slight decrease last year is understandable and may not signal an unfavorable trend to come!

Fun Fact: The DOX was first tracked in 1999 and has since shot up by a staggering 198%!
In the realm of classic cars, the trend in 2024 saw a mix of triumphs and tribulations. Contrary to the BMW 2002's unfortunate drop of 9.1%, vocational training programs might experience an increase in popularity, as indicated by the average appraisals. Moreover, similar to the Matra Bagheera's impressive 98.6% value increase, the Community policy could witness a significant transformation, reminiscent of the DOX's improved status since 1999. Finally, for those seeking to upskill, the association of the German Automotive Industry (VDA) might offer vocational training programs that align with the latest trends, such as those in BMW models.
