What modern cars are special/collectable/future classics ?
Discussion
exige s1 and 340r agreed but they are late 1990's arent they, ditto the 550 and F355 ?
Sorry, was thinking more of the kind of last 20 years or so when cars started to have all the nannies and flappy paddles etc..
I suppose there is a case for the M3 CSL and RS 3.8, for me though the build quality and engineering has to be there so things like Renault hatches, Sagaris etc.. wouldn't make the grade.

Which decade are you living in where the late 90's aren't within the last 20 years? Sorry, was thinking more of the kind of last 20 years or so when cars started to have all the nannies and flappy paddles etc..
Anyway, I would have thought that the most sought after cars in the future would be the last truly analogue cars, before flappy paddles and nannies became so ubiquitous.
At the cheap end:
Most of the small roadsters will have a following. Especially Boxsters and Caymans.
MG ZT V8
Supercharged BMW Mini Coopers
Anything with a low bonnet line.
Of course the easy way to find out is look at whatever today's teens are lusting for and wait until they've got the money to buy one.

Everything I own of course!
Classic mini
Renault 5 gt turbo
Porsche 996gt3 mkII
Honda nsx
To which I would like to add
Ford sierra cosworth rs500
360 Modena manual
M3 evo whatnot.
Always pleased to see the discerning catch on. I noticed Harry Metcalfes column last month in Evo debated the 'are modern sports cars too fast' issue and concluded that the best place for your money was a fiat 500 abarth for the daily commute and a Porsche 996gt3 for the weekend. Couldn't agree more!

depends how you take the op's post.
i see a classic car as one that has gained a certain status and value over the years.yes agreed there are cars like the ferrari 250 gto that are classics and worth a fortune but you have to bear in mind that alot of classics out there are also the cars of yesteryear that everyday people could afford. case in point 2 european humble cars..the old skool mini and vw beetle. then the yanks... the mustang and dodge charger. all to a point affordable to everyday people back in the day and classed as classics and going up in value.
thinking away from the supercar league for a change here. i consider the honda s2000 to be a classic of the future myself
