What cars/bikes/vans do you think will be future classics?

So did I, they may be rubbish but they're a quirky little oddity.
East German cooking pans were good quality, I used to bring a lot of them back to sell in the olden days.

 

We had fun in the 80's

Classics seem to be moving into two broad categories:

Cars that were expensive anyway on release, and cars deemed affordable and desirable in their own generation, but perhaps unobtainable to anyone under 25 at the time of release.

But we want cars that are with bobbins now, so I nominate:

Peugeot 306 GTI and Rallye.
Peugeot 106 Rallye
Peugeot 406 V6 Coupe (still a beautiful car)

Fiat Uno turbo
Fiat Coupe

Ford Puma
Ford Ka
Fort Focus ST170

Vauxhall - any VXR derivative.

VW - any G Charger derivative of any model.
VW Lupo GTI
VW Polo GTI
VW Corrado VR6

Toyota Celica GT4 - both generation

All are comparatively rare, but cheap.

If you have room and a bit of cash it's worth hiding away some basic spec Focuses, Golfs, Rovers as these always draw crowds and can be used for film work in the future.

If you want an epic car for now that's worth bugger all VW Phaeton and Merc S classes (£100k + car worth £5k, just get a warranty!)

 

Are you still in touch with your contact in Berlin comrade Donski?

 

Nyet, alas the market disappeared when the wall came down & cartons of Marlboros didn't buy as much.

 

I notice all your suggestions are all getting on for 20 year old plus so could be said they are already classics

 

Mercedes SL R230 models...... early ones were scrapped for fun as owners were terrified of the bills that the electrics can throw up. Parts and access to diagnostic equipment is getting easier now....... I think a low mile well looked after one will hold a place in people's hearts.

Also E46 BMW M3's they are being broken at an alarming rate as they enter the chav scrapper era........ good ones coming out the other side cherished will rocket in value I think.

 

Alfa Romeo GTV 3.0 v6 ?

 

I think this is already well on the upper rungs of the expensive classic ladder.

 

The ducks swim slowly down the river. My mother may visit tomorrow.

 

I think what's considered 'everyday' type vehicle (there's two a penny at the moment) will become the classics.

Because no one will bother saving them.

 

I'd agree on the CSL and Evo ones, the next gen V8's too.

Forgot Porsche Boxters, and Audi TT's, but there are millions of both!

 

Good CSL's are already £50k plus..... they will be a topping £100k before too long. E36 evo's are rare indeed.

I recon a low mile bog standard e46 M3 in manual flavour will be £25k all day long 5 years from now......

 

Million plus
