Manual N/A Porsche 911's.
Drove a 911 Carrera 4 S.. albeit it was PDK and not 2WD (I assume 2wd is the better of the two by what I've read?)
Wow! That must be a very rare factory special! Never heard of a 2WD Carrera 4S...Drove a 911 Carrera 4 S.. albeit it was PDK and not 2WD (I assume 2wd is the better of the two by what I've read?)
ETA
But you are absolutely right regarding manual NA 911!

Might one day become a Porsche man if I work the man maths...

S1 Lotus Elise 
Not Biased.
Yep! Around 4 years to go until the Americans can start importing the 1996/1997 S1 Elises ... I'd hazard a guess an increase in prices much like the R32 GTR. Aside from that, prices have already increased quite a bit in the last 12-18 months!Not Biased.
Partially bias

Saxo VTS is a good shout.
A mate of mine travels the country buying up any reasonably clean, unmodified VTR/S and 106 GTI he can find, makes them mint and stores them. Think he's up to about 9 now. I don't doubt that he'll make a few quid by selling them off in a few years, there's very few decent ones left. Edited by Sten. on Thursday 13th April 15:16

... MK1 St170 Focus ...
Not convinced that there was much clamour for the ST170 when it was new so unlikely to be in demand in future. The later Volvo engined Focus ST in unmodified form may be a good bet however as will any of the RS badged Focuses.Another bet will be manual gearboxed versions of cars where the vast majority have been sold with automatics.
Mk1 ST170 was a bit of a gutless also-ran when new compared to it's competition.
The engine isn't great, and it's not different enough from the standard car to get too excited about.
It's a sound and good little car, with a lot to like, however not enough to covet in the future.
Exception to the above might be the estate variant due to rarity.

Definitely not a st170... But the mk1 focus rs and the mk2 are silly money now 
E36 M3 is bound to go the way of the E30 price wise, no?
Mk1 Rs is already around 6-7 grand E36 M3 is bound to go the way of the E30 price wise, no?
Have another look at what Mk1 RS's are fetching!

gonna have to suggest the S2000....
I keep thinking about these, some of them selling for 5k and some for 18k. Yes, EIGHTEEN THOUSAND - MADNESS
£18k for garage queen 2009 run out stuff (£500 a year tax?!)
Slap bang in the middle is the good stuff, responsibly used, 2005/6 facelift stuff....
£18k....what nearly new say 10,000 mile front engine, RWD open top offers so much fun?
2007 MY V8 Vantages... prices are going to go through the roof once the new Aston/Mercedes cars filter through.... purest of the Gaydon Vantages, and possibly the most beautiful car ever designed and built..... Grab one now......
I am totally not biased....
OK, that's a lie....
Oh, and TVR's, as has already been mentioned.... prices (advertised) have gone North (relatively) in the last 18 months or so.....
