Classic cars would probably fit the title - American muscle, some classic British sports cars etc.

Maybe some future classics? MK1 Focus RS maybe? I am sure the E34 M5 will be creeping up in price followed by the E39 sooner or later.

Not in the same ballpark, but early 90's unmolested Mazda MX5s are appreciating and will continue to do so IMO.

Also, shirley minty-mint e30 M3s have only one way to go?

Unrestored cars pre 1990 seem to be on the up.

The E39 M5 is unlikely to appreciate because there are so damn many of them, although a good one will command a bigger premium over all the shagged ones.

993 Porsches are the biggie. TVR Griffith, yes, and perhaps Cerbera, I reckon.

B5 Audi RS4?

interesting point, is it only low volume built cars that appreciate?

Interesting choices, SAGRIFF. What do you think about the other TVR models?

Lots of Ferraris (355s, 456s, 550s).

Porsche classics, the 959, and mint 993s

Loads of stuff. Technically, Opel Monzas, Lotus Carltons etc.

Anything that becomes rare enough that there's more demand than supply!

If there are only 100 4WD Mondeos left, but only 10 people want one, they're hardly going to appreciate. This I know hehe

But if there are 20,000 E39 M5s, and everyone starts listening to us bunch shouting loudly about how it's one of the most complete all-round cars ever built, and a quarter of a million people decide they want one, then it's going to go through the roof.

But yes, generally, the rarer a particular (nice, unmolested good-condition) performance car becomes, the more it's gonna be worth.
