Cars that increase in value?

[evo801]

Hi all,

All this talk regarding cars depreciating increasingly I got thinking about cars that only ever seem to increase in value.

Enzo's hold well, classic aston's DB5,DB6 seem to be VERY expensive, F40's...

What other cars are there that increase in value?

I was looking at old ford cortina's yesterday and they seem to be expensive for an "old" car. 4-5k IIRC.

So called 'modern classics' in very good condition are a safe-ish bet I would imagine. 205 GTI, mk1/2 Golf GTi for example.

[evo801]

Lamborghini Diablo's are also very expensive, similar price to the Murcielago

Nissan 200SX

80's and 90's Ford performance stuff.

RS Turbo, Cosworth and XR models.

Only good examples though, not Barry'ed up ones.

Classic Fords - especially Cortinas - have seen a massive jump in values over the past few years, especially when compared to the BL rivals of their day. You won't see many £4k Princesses out there and Fords often get better money than similar aged Jags and the like. I think its the 'Life On Mars' effect. I was epecting a similar jump for Anglias when the Harry Potter film came out but that didn't transpire. Different audience, I suppose. However everything is dependent on condition. An old shed is still an old shed and the stuff getting top money is in top condition.

How this all pans out in the coming months and years - well thats anyone's guess.

Escort Mk1s and Mk2s. Couldn't believe how much they fetch now.

Wide Body Porsche 993s, later ones with good spec and low mileage, now more expensive then newer 997s!

[Agoogy]

I bought a nice CRX MkII, 2 years ago for £3k
Sold it 1 month ago for... £3k

actually that's still a loss isn't it, cos £3k was worth a bit more back then...

E30 M3
Integra Type-R Mk1
200 SX

Sure there are more but those are the first that spring to mind.

Classic mini values never fail to amaze me and if it's something a bit rare the prices go through the roof

The Porsche 964RS seems to have doubled in value in the last 5 years.

And are going back down now.

Audi A2 1.4 TDI?

People used to think it was pointless but it seems to be commming back into fashion. What other cars from that 2000-era qualify for £35/year tax, do 65mpg+ and still hit 60mph in less than 11 seconds thanks to the alluminium body. And no the Toyota Prius dosent count

Dino 246

BMW Z8! I sold mine,one of the last 2003 cars for £55k about 4 years ago with 7,000 miles,Hexagon BMW had it advertised a few months ago with 12,000 miles for £89k AND SOLD IT QUICK..!!
