Any later versions worth the most?

Lotus Elan and Europa
Lamborghini Miura
Bentley Turbo R
Mercedes SL R107 and maybe W129
Porsche 944
Many of these had long lives, so were improved and developed over the years, possible with better corrosion protection too (like the XJ-S, although the rare early manuals are worth more than any other model).

Thanks. I think the Integrale and 944 are perhaps good examples of cars that simply got better over time. Though perhaps there's a time issue since they are not that old. In another 20 years?
The Elan/Europa and Miura are nice examples. Am I correct in thinking that they really buck the trend for pre-80s cars? If so, why is that?

If something as new as an XJ-S/XJS is included in your definition of a classic car then I suspect they'd do it. Try looking at the price of a late convertible especially the run out V12s.
Maybe, but the very first pre-HE cars are worth fair bit now, good manual gearbox ones are well over £20k.Gassing Station | Classic Cars and Yesterday's Heroes | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
