Any modern cars that will be a classic in years to come?

[CDP]

Just about all the specialist cars will have a following but in the "ordinary" category:

Tata Nano
Aygo
MG ZT V8
Smart cars
Citroen C6
Renault Avantime

In fact anything with a V12 or V8 as they are already a dying breed.

Enzo.. Yes. Pagani Zonda.. Yes. Both very unique in their own way.

New McLaren. No. Planned production numbers are high and though technically capable it just looks like a Ferrari but with tweaks.. I see it being valued like a Testerossa. Not awful but no F40.

Lamborghini's.. Maybe the Murcielago but not the Gallardo. Gallardo is just a good fast car but all the soul of a Birds Eye Lasagne.

Basically any 911 ever made, but especially the 997 GT3 I think.

Affordable classics
Early boxster
Mk1 audi tt
Mk1 Mercedes slk
When launched new there was nothing like any of them on the market really, anything popular new will be desirable in a few years, good examples of either can be bought for not a lot of money at the mo

Forgot to say:

All the roadsters. Even the Z3 1.9, though it may end up as the donor for a lot of Z3Ms...

[f1stoxfan]

And maybe nicely spec'd Z3's ?? Who knows!

[Kozy]

The GT-86 and BRZ.

Renault Clio V6
BMW M3 CSL
Focus RS MK1
Ferrari 360 CS

Agree with a lot of the suggestions:
Renault Avantime
Citroen C6
Ford Ka

And I will add to the mix the Fiat Multipla. The pre-facelift version

Ford KA a future classic?? The SportKA maybe sought after but not all KA's will.

Mazda RX-8.

Fantastic cars, great to drive but er not renown as being the most reliable.

No more rotary based Mazda's are being made and with emissions laws tightening all the time not likely to be either so they're probably going to be the last wankels.

Give it 20 years and they'll be about 10 left still running and worth a fortune!

They will. It might be a shrewd move to get hold of a couple of the unpainted grey plastic bumpers as they'll be really sort after in 20 years. On the other hand, they'll be cluttering the garage up for twenty years and you'll get the same Birr price as you paid for them (seeing as the Euro, Pound, Dollar and Yuan will probably be junk by then).

Skooby P1 (Other specials available but this was for the UK and 3 door)
Monaro VRX500 (Mate is selling the black one in the PH classifieds...What a car!)
Rover 800 Coupe (Getting rare and quiet a few people like them looking at this weeks SOTW)
Alfa SZ (Just car porn)
Alfa GTV (Pretty car and getting rarer)
BMW Z1 (The doors!)
Ford Puma (I can see on here there's a following and good ones are dissapearing)
Nissan skyline R34 (One for the Playstation boys)
Lotus Elise Mk1 (Where did they all go?)
BMW 323 Conv E36 (Hoping prices rise)
Saab 900 Turbo (Even more now Saab is on the brink of collapse)


Will think of more once i hit the submit button!

Mercedes SLK?

Jaguar XJs Probably the XF too as it represents the break with tradition.

Rover 75 as it's the last of the Rovers. The V8s will really be sort after as they only built 40 or so.

[SuperHangOn]

MX-5, Puma, Fiat Barchetta, MR2, Elise... fun, simple cars which don't cost a bomb to run.

Anyone guess the fuel cost in ten years time?

[bristolracer]

Nostalgia counts for a lot, check out the price of a mk1 or mk2 escort, not a special car when new but now fetching strong money.

Exotics will always command a good price

[Matt p]

My money is on 996 GT2's mk1 GT3's and TVR Sags, tuscans etc.

As a wild card Racing Puma's

Oh and I hope Rx7's only because I have one.

[barky]

TVR's classics? doubt it really

I'd go with 911, nissan gtr, impreza sti, fiat coupe, ...
