R32 gtrs the original godzilla. Have just started creeping up in value and will continue I reckon smile
Along with R33 gtrs as well, you can get a nice one for a few bags under 10 grand and might depreciate a bit more but will be over 10k in 10 years time. The numbers of both of these on the road are dropping as people buy them, modify them and when they go to sell see that they will only get market value + maybe 10-20% tops compared to the thousands spent on the modifications so break them so those on the roads still have lots of spares.

As nice as they are, lots of the cars suggested here will just be forgotten. Will have to be iconic, have racing pedigree or be brilliant in some way.

True.. that's the point of the question. Any suggestions?

Can't see a willy doing it... History tells us that it's 'unlikely': 106 1.6 Rallye, hovered at 3K for AGES. 172 Cup, dirt cheap now and only getting cheaper, 205 gti, as previously said in the thread. You could just say 'any unmolested performance car' for that matter.

I really wish I had bought one of these instead of my 25th Anniversary Golf 5 years ago.

Higher milage e28 M5s that still work. Eg this one that sold for £7,750. As they move up in value, people won't be scared of buying them to 'refresh':

Isn't that the one with a fairly chequered history?

I agree with M5's generally though, as has already been said by Zwolf and others. This one; http://www.4starclassics.com/bmw-e34-m5-for-sale/ is now for sale elsewhere for £9k and I think it has to be a good candidate (subject to it being maintained and fettled in the intervening period) for being worth £10k+ in 10 years time. For what its worth I think decent E34 M5's are undervalued at present.

Some have mentioned the E36 M3, I'm not sure I can these significantly increasing in value, as I don't see any reason you'd buy one over an E46 M3 at the same money. At least that's what I'm hoping, as I sold my E36 M3 Evo about a year ago. There has abeen an awful lot of talk of the Z3M coupe, aren't many of them already above £10k? My picks:

Golf Rallye (or Rallye Golf)
FD RX-7
R32 GTR
mkIV Supra twin turbo
Ford Cossies (I guess only the Sierra is under £10k at the moment)
Evo 6 TME (if it isn't already)
Impreza P1
Impreza WR1
Clio V6
mk1 Focus RS (though quite why is beyond me)

Rolls Royce Silver Shadow or Bentley T1/T2.

Ten grand will buy a fairly good one. Keep it like that and in ten years they are likely to be really sort after as so many of the snotters are now being broken up and ebayed.

No, doubt you could even get a Lotus Omega for under 10K ( if you could, i certainly would not want to own the huge money pit it's likely to be)!!!

Early, nice, well maintained R129 Mercedes SL's will start rising steadily i think.

And low mileage (very) well cared for E30 Convertibles.

I do love Clio Williams, but not sue if they will make it to £10k or beyond. Hilton & Moss just sold a Williams 3 with 70k'ish for around £5k I believe and I would suggest that's a pretty market defining price. Long way to go from there to £10k.

Alfa 147/156 GTA.
This is what i was going to say - more so the 156 GTA for some reason.

Also facelifted 166 3.2 V6 Ti Saloons will appreciate i think (ironic since they dropped so much money from new), as there are only a handful, sought after and will always look timeless/attractive IMO.
