Seen quite a few threads where people bemoan the fact that they didn't buy a 911 before they started being silly money, I wondered what cars are there that were vaguely affordable that are now stupid money (note I'm thinking vaguely affordable - a Z8 don't fall into that bracket)

I can think of 3 or 4

E-type (at one point there was a kitcar developed which had a e-type as the chassis & engine!!!)
Hemi-Charger
Hemi-Challenger (both cases GOOD ones can fetch 250k)
'Pagoda' mercedes

At that time too, Lotus Carltons and RS2s could be had for £12k - although I never had that sort of money at the time, so no regrets about those!
thanks for reminding me! I seem to recall looking for a car and seeing an RS2 @ about £14k and being tempted but in the end going for something cheaper that I hated withing a few hours of having bought it and it lost me about £5k over the 18 months I suffered with it frown
