I am thinking Japanese sports cars or fast Japanese saloons. My logic being that the boy racers of the late 80s 90s and 00s are going to wanting the cars they had or wanted when they were younger.

VW Golf GTI maybe?
|
|
By:
MK 1 already a classic IMO also the MK2
|
|
By:
mk1 an important car history wise ,MK2 a great car but over 6m produced so supply will prob outstrip demand for a long time .
any old car is worth money ,the worse they were the quicker they disappeared ,how much money and TIME do you want to spend ? millions of unfinished projects out there ,bought an old Vauxall Viva a few years back and put it together and was surprised at the interest it generated when i punted it . cars cant just be put away and forgot about like an antique or a wine ect ,correct storage is expensive ,corrosion and degradation is continuous and never ending . |

porsche 928, was revolutionary at the time, will appreciate during the next few years imo

Mazda RX-8

I always wanted a Sierra XR4i
|

By:
I have always wanted a metro 6r4

By:
I'm keeping hold of my 2005 Fiesta Style 1.25i
|

By:
Not a chance a current Golf GTI will be a classic. Theres millions of them about. 4 Golf R's within a 2minute walk of my house
If the new Honda NSX is limited edition it will appreciate faster than a house |

I used to drive one of these in the 80s, the insurance was horrendous. Anyone recognise it?
 |
|
By:
Try to find a Facel Vega if you are looking for an investment.
|
|
By:
with the push button pre-select
|
|
By:
a landrover in the early 70,s cost about 1k new but a used one was selling for double that 20 years later ...more to do the economics than anything else
a new defender costs from 25-60 now but over the years they have done great money because they last and the new list cost take them upwards not sure this will continue or would apply to many modern vehicles ,if a had to take a punt some of the early electric cars will do ok in the future imo due to low production numbers ,the Tesla Model S in rhd if you could pick one up for buttons in about 10 years might look a good investment in 50 years time . |

By:
thats a french car but not sure what ...poker
the facel Vega looks nice dunlaying ,very cool |
|
By:
FTO Nap ***
they can be bought for nothing ,serious little motors  |
|
By:
Looks like a Lotus Eclat to me (Pokermonster's car/picture).
|
|
By:
Good guesses, gentlemen. My old car was a Matra Simca Bagheera.
|
|
By:
Mazda RX-8 was a good call.
I can't believe it's eleven years since I got mine!!!  |
|
By:
I am thinking the first of the Lexus range or come to that any clean low miler with full service history.
but then you say that for hot Civics, MR2s ,MK1 MX5, Mitsubishi Starion or Galant, Nissan Skyline, Nissan Silvia, etc. The list of **** possibilities are endless. Back to home and the Metro/Rover 100 are staring to pick up in value. |
|
By:
Japanese that was meant to say
|
|
By:
Consider the Ford Cougar, a sales failure so not that many about.
|
|
By:
yep, available numbers is an important factor, also nothing to downmarket, the real premiums will come via top end racers
|
|
By:
the buy right now is the best mid 70s to early 80s merc sl you can find with history
because the 60s model has gone through the roof it's dragging the next generation sl values up, they have risen around 50% in the last 18 months and it's not stopping, won't ever be worth anything like a pagoda sl but nailed on to increase and providing you buy right zero chance to lose on the deal with tidying and some tlc something like this one in the link will be a 10k car in a couple of years . http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C605939 |

By:
I don't think the Cougar will ever be to classic car status, although it was extraordinarily radical when it was first introduced.
I had the V6 X-Pack from 2001 to 2002/3. Not a sports car by any means, but a true "Grand Tourer". The auto box wasn't the best, and the overly assisted steering was too vague in the straight ahead position. That aside it is hard to believe this was fourteen years ago, and I still see a few, and never saw a tatty one. You don't buy a car like this for economy motoring but 22 mpg, carefully driven, was a bit extreme! |

One of Mrs SAGC's friend had a Cougar.
She gave me lift to Brentwood once, not the right size car for a comfortable ride if you're over 6 feet tall. |
|
By:
I'll try that again, in English.

footprints on the headcloth ?

Essex girl, the feet go out of the windows.

Especially in the back!

By:
I suppose a cougar driving a cougar would be rather apt.
|
|
By:
whereas a cougar driving a jaguar would be ironic
|
|
By:
but nice
|
|
By:
I would have considered a Reliant Robin but have you seen the price of a good one now, also the bond bug.
|
|
By:
When my son first saw my Cougar he said "lakjweop83275pl3h1q2tgf1p9o82" dad, someone has parked a spaceship on your drive"!

Is this your way of saying you were dating a middle aged alian?
|

By:
Less of the middle age stuff if you don't mind...

By:
I look at the price of some of my old cars and it brings tears to my eyes.
I had a bmw e30 325 Motorsport which I traded in for sod all. A goodun goes for a decent premium now. Had a couple of 205gtis and they are going up. I think for a really good one the car needs to be unique in some way or held in high regard when in production. |

By:
Been Driving an FTO for while ,had a vauxhall insignia for a few days last week nice enough motor ,unfortunately it does not adapt to roundabouts at speed as well as the FTO ,my passagers resembled people on a capsizing boat
|
|
By:
The FTO's are brilliant little things and seem to keep well.
I always wondered why Mitsubishi didn't bring them here! On the subject of wishing you still had some of your cars I sold my e-type for £950.00 in 1973. A top class one now can be £75k. My TR6 went in '72 for less than £1,000. The thing is that to have maintained them, and then fully restored them recently, would have cost serious money. |
