I'd like to hear people's suggestions for car which are nearing the bottom of the market and about to become collectable
we can ignore cars which is automatically going to be collectable, ferraris, lamborghinis, aston martins, rolls royces etc
I'm talking about more every day manufacturer's cars, VWs, Toyotas, BMWs, Fords etc.

I think you could be right about BMW 8 series, i thought they had already turned, but it seems there are some on auto trader for less than £4k

This will no doubt become very collectable, but what makes you think they're close to their bottom price?

Mondeo ST200 I reckon would be a good bet. May take a while for the values to go up, but with certain other Ford models getting up to silly money I predict an unmolested original 200 will become an appreciating asset.

Agree with some above, the Racing Puma for sure

I might be wrong but I can only see R32 GTR's going up from here too

There are a few specialists trying to force the price to rise. £30k has been the going rate for a looked after one for a while, but are getting few and far between.
