Barriers to entry/High starting capital

The cost of collecting exotic, vintage, and the world's rarest cars is increasing, restricting it to high net-worth individuals, which has been the case for years. The 1939 Alfa Romeo 8c 2900B Lungo Spider has an estimated market valuation of $19,800,000. 1962 Ferrari 250 GT0 with a market valuation of $42,300,000 and 1955 Mercedes Benz 300 SL Gullwing with a market valuation of $931,000. Over the years, these rare and exotic cars have been restricted to high-net-worth individuals and are inaccessible to middle or low-income earners.
