“I wanted to buy that Ferrari regardless,” Alex remembers. “It being Miles Davis’ car made it even more incredible.”
Classic Motorsports reached out to Alex Manos and Beverly Hills Car Club to explore whether a celebrity’s name on the title should factor into a collector car purchase. Manos, whose dealership counts Justin Bieber, Jason Momoa and Snoop Dogg among its clients, argues that buying a car purely for who once owned it is a mistake — the car should bring the owner joy first, with celebrity provenance treated as a bonus.
