Will the Griff be a classic car, I think yes but will it
be aclassic like the vixen or like the Tuscan/Griffith.
(from the 60 and 70)
Will??????
I reckon you'll find the Griff IS a classic.
One of the few cars in the world that carries the passion to make it a true classic , such as the E type , '66 mustang , I could go on.
And those of us that own them, know the true meaning of the model.

No doubt at all that the Griff' is a true modern classic. From a money perspective expect them to be just about rock bottom price from year 10/12 and then they should hold value nicely, may even rise a couple of thou' over the years (in real terms)

Hey, about 72,000 Jaguar E-types were made. That makes the total number of Griffs built look miniscule.

BUT the wedges are very much more of an aquired taste.
Total griffs about 2000 made in 10 years. (WORLDWIDE)
Ferrari made that many 355's in 6 months!!!!! (what is it 4000 Ferraris a year, most being 355, 360, 430, etc)
Porsche make that many Boxtsters/9111 in a couple of months.
Also, a number of griff's get demolished every year. Put it this way, I have bee very close to tarding in in, a few times for a tusc/t350 over the last 3 years. And the trade in price has stayed the same, and has even gone up over this period.?

I suppose the term "classic" is somewhat subjective. So I, subliminally, I guess, tend to classify cars into three categories in my head:
Definite classics - the likes of the E Type, Ferrari GTO, Ford GT 40, etc.
Probable Classics - Morris Minor, Jensen Interceptor, etc.
Possible Classics - the original Mini, Cortina Mk 1, etc.
In 10 years time I could easily see a Griff being classified in the middle "probable" category.

Interesting point Srebbe, opens up vast new swathes of WHSmith shelf space - POssible Practical Classic Magazine anyone?
On an objective note, I tend to define a classic car as any vehicle which has ceased production, and has owner operators numbering more than five for whom the running costs are as yet insufficient to induce them to junk the unreliable rustbucket.

By that rationale, my mate's crappy Nissan Sunny is a "Classic".
