Founded in 1998
Gorikaya Foreli was established in 1998 by automotive enthusiasts Alexander Gorikaya and Maria Foreli, who recognized the untapped potential of vintage cars as alternative investment vehicles. Starting with a small collection of European classics in Toronto, we've grown to become Canada's most trusted name in vintage car investments.
Our journey began when Alexander, a former financial advisor, and Maria, a classic car restoration expert, combined their expertise to create a unique investment platform. They saw that vintage cars were not just beautiful machines, but appreciating assets that could outperform traditional investments while providing tangible joy to their owners.
Today, we manage over $50 million in vintage car assets across Canada, with clients from coast to coast trusting us with their automotive investments. Our track record speaks for itself: an average annual return of 18% over the past decade.
