Fun question but no 21 year old could ever be insured for these cars. Save a ton of money and buy a decent 140bhp caterham. In 20 years time such a raw basic car would be a revelation and the kids would love it !

Will be worth a fortune in 20yrs and not mental fast for young drivers.....

Something with a manual gearbox and a large naturally aspirated engine ... in 21 years time both these aspects will be but a distant memory!

Forget insurance, I'm fully expecting that those cars won't be even be allowed on the roads!

We're not talking about cars they're going to drive to college in, if we need to trailer them to a race track, or some private roads then that will do just fine.

Their autonomous, AI controlled, solar powered, shared urban transporation pods will likely deal with their daily travel needs.

Slarti, I've just ordered a brand new Morgan, it's already eighty years out of date , so it won't date any further. Unless I go bust, I'll never sell it.

Would still stick with caterham. Anything with any kind of driver electronics will seem so bizarre in 20 years time bs modern tech at the time.
