Hang on lads, I've got a great idea...

There could be a quick buck to be made from buying DB Astons in the UK and selling in the US

STARE AT THE clouds for too long, and images start to appear. Data is the same: look at a spreadsheet for long enough, and patterns emerge. Whether they’re real or not is open for debate and, sometimes, you just need to step back.

This week, I did just that. I was delving into the difference between US Hagerty Price Guide values and their UK equivalents for the same models and spotted a host of anomalies. At first glance, it looked like (in general) Aston Martin DB 4, 5 and 6 models were much more valuable in the US than the UK, as were Jaguar E-types, various Porsche 911 sub-models and others, such as the Lancia Delta Evo. Conversely, Lamborghinis, in particular the Espada, Murciélago and Gallardo, seemed to be much more valuable here in the UK than in the States.
