Founded in 2026, Sabas Management is a private investment manager for collector cars. It buys the rare, closed-run halo cars of 1980 to 2010, holds them for the long term and sells them when the market is right, not when a calendar says so.
Every car is bought on the evidence of its own sales record, valued each year by an outside appraiser, kept under the fund’s title in insured, climate-controlled custody, and serviced on the factory schedule. The firm is run the way a good real estate owner runs a building.

years, the hold the strategy is built around
Bought on evidence, valued by someone else, kept properly, and sold only when it is right. The four parts of the work, each a standing commitment in the fund’s documents.
The work01
The right example of the right model, inspected by a marque specialist before any offer. Fewer than five hundred built, production closed, road legal in the fullest form the factory made. Its whole sales record is read before a price is named.
02
An outside appraiser sets the entry value, revisits it every year and signs off before any sale. The manager never marks its own book.
03
Title held by the fund. Insured, climate-controlled custody, service on the factory schedule, certification where the marque offers it, and two concours entries over the hold.
04
At a premier house, with a campaign planned a year ahead. Nothing is sold because a fund clock has run out.
The database holds 43,377 auction results, among them 1,135 recorded sales of the thirty-nine models, August 2011 to October 2026, read before every decision. The cars that fit the rule, as one cohort, against the ones that did not.

A real estate underwriter, a private equity structurer, and a dealer who has spent his life with these cars. Each brings one of the three things the fund needs: the underwriting, the structure, and the cars.
Who we are
Questions
The short answers. The materials carry the long ones.
If you can write a cheque above four million dollars, know which car you want, can find a good one and are happy to be your own manager, buying it yourself is at least as good on paper. The fund gives you ten cars rather than one, a ticket below the price of one, and a way out before year ten.
Not us. An independent appraiser at purchase, every year after, and before any sale. The administrator records that figure, not one we name.
In insured, climate-controlled custody, titled to the fund, serviced on the factory schedule, with every receipt on file from the day of purchase.
Yes, if it meets the same rule as everything else we buy. It enters at independently appraised value, never at a figure named by its owner, and converts one car into a share of the whole collection.
Recorded auction and private sales of the thirty-nine models, August 2011 to October 2026, from a database of 43,377 auction results. They are the market’s trajectory, not trades of any Sabas fund, which has no operating history. Two of the thirty-nine lost money over their window.
