INTRO
	Why do you need our newsletter? This is the first newsletter since we took over http://www.racingdeal.com and since we relaunched the site. We had a very successful month of February with over 20000 enthusiasts visiting our marketplace. From the over 100000 page views 30% are already coming from USA/Canada, the Near East and Asia, so this is really a global market. We think we should not duplicate, what you can read at the newsstand. Our colleagues from the print-magazines are doing a good job on this. So we will dedicate our free newsletter on how to spend your money best. Hot tips on cars to watch, events to visit, models and books to buy, contacts to make and future classics to buy. On the best deals on wheels - thats our theme. We benefit from worldwide contacts and an understanding of the collectors- and sports- and racingcar-market since over 20 years. The best advice we can give is to focus on originality and history. When you take the outstanding display of cars from the well known dealer Lukas Hüni at the Retromobile with a Shelby Cobra Prototype (right), a Porsche 917K, a Jaguar XKSS and an ex-Scuderia Filipinetti Ferrari 275 GTB plus an AC 428 prototype and a Ferrari 250 Europa. All with excellent history and in outstanding shape. Whether you buy a Beetle Convertible or a Ford GT 40 you have to make sure that the cars history is fine. We try to help you on making a first choice. Over 2000 automobiles on our website is a good start after 3 months. Sincerely yours racingdeal.com

NEWS
	Top Cars to watch! The historic car market was very strong in 2005 and we expect another stable year in 2006. There are no bad news on the horizon and you should not leave your money on the bank account. Some cars have by far not reached their potential - so this is our list of the topcars to watch: 1. Mercedes 300 SL 2. 911 2.7 RS (Touring or Lightweight) 3. Cobra 289 4. Ferrari 288 GTO 5. Aston Martin DB 4 to 6 6. Ferrari 275 GTB 7. Shelby Mustang GT 350/500 8. Bizzarrini 9. Ferrari 275 GTS 10.Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona
	Sleepers - bargains to watch! Basically the same applies to the more affordable end of the market. Smart buyers are always going for cars that have been well restored already or that are in good original shape, because specialist skills are on the increase. This is our list to watch: 1. AC Ace 2. Jaguar E-Type Roadster 3.8/4.2 3. Aston Martin DBS 4. Porsche 911(all early models and the 993) 5. Ferrari 308 (glassfibre) 6. Ford Mustangs 7. Golf GTI (first model) 8. MGB (early ones) 9. Ferrari 365/512 BB 10.BMW 3.0 CSL
	Future investment ! Ferraris new V12 - superstar revealed! First pictures of the 599 GTB. latest in a long line of front-engined classics had been published. The new cars 5999 cc V12 is derived from the Enzo and produces 620 hp at 7600 rpm, giving a power-to-weight-ratio of 1:2,6. Styling of the all aluminium 599 is again by Pininfarina. The great successor to the famous GTs like the 250GT,the 275 GTB or the 365 GTB4 was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show end of February.
	Better buy now: Early Porsche 911 The market trend is sensational - any of the cars from 1965 to 1973 are definitely to buy now. A rust free 911 S or 911 E or T make terrific daily drivers and all are on the rise. It used to be only the more expensive 2.7 RS or the 911 S, but that is no longer the case. And even the later Carrera Cabrios or the last air-cooled classic 993 are great buys, when you dont want to go the risk of a 30-40 year-old Porsche. Again: Give special attention to the matching number engine and the history (including service receipts). Buy a better one, because parts and labour can hurt your pocket.
	Investment Markets: Old Racing Goodies Watch the big shows and auctions for memorabilia, which is linked to the 60's racing. Old jackets, helmets or overalls are goodies, which will definitely go up in price. Most of the stuff is already gone into collections, so if you still have the chance to get something important, do it now!
	Investment markets: Russia After world war II many great cars fall into Russian ownership. Horch cars, Mercedes SSK's, racing Auto Unions or even italian classics disappeared behind the Iron Curtain. Now this is totally changing with the "new" Russian money coming into the big cities of Europe and Russia. The collectors car market is emerging very fast and more and more dealers report on the raising demand from russian enthusiasts. It maybe takes a few more years to develop the broader interest in classic cars, but the rich collectors are already heavily on the market. Make sure that you use worldwide platforms like Google, Ebay or racingdeal.com to get connected to this news segment.
	Investment Market: Old Racing Photos Not long ago you have been on one of the Autojumbles or Car Shows and you have seen wonderful original racing photos of LeMans, the Nürburgring, Sebring, Goodwood or any other of the great autodromes. But you thought that 3-5 dollars or Euros or Pounds for a nice photo was too much? We can just advice you, that you watch the remaining material more carefully and complete your marque or collection by these wonderful periodica now. Soon they will all be gone - and we haven't seen a lot at the Retromobile - and you are left with youngtimer-photos of the 70's and 80's!
	nice investment: Lotus Watch This is the very first watch from Lotus Design. It is called the Type 1 and manufactured by Time Products. It has a quartz-movement, three-dial stopwatch and a calendar and will cost 175 Pound Sterling from Lotus dealers or thru the Lotus webstore under http://www.lotuscarswebstore.co.uk
