hmm, I'm thinking MKIII Supra TT's in immaculate original condition with low milage are only gonna soar soon, as will anything GTR, and if you can splash a bit more for a good one now, I suspect NSX's are only gonna go WELL up... TVR's would also be a very good choice I would think with them preparing to support older cars better and release a new one, (I know someone with a Tamora for sale that could be a good investment ...)

Missed the boat on NSX's they bottomed at about £11-£15k, cheapest one now is about £22k! That said, I doubt they will go down again lol

Two things decide future value. Rareity and desireability. If you got both you've got gold.
Rareity alone though doesnt make it expensive. Ie allegros,ladas ect.

Me too. A very nice standard '97 318is resides with me. I intend to keep it for some time as my 'posh' car. Mileage is low for the age and will stay that way. Body near prefect and have a friend who does award winning resto's so I can have the minor blemishes sorted properly in due course. Hopefully it will appreciate in value over the years so if I do decide to sell one day I can get a decent profit. Mine is a 1994 318is which has just gone over 70,000. Bodywork is also near perfect and never had any rust or anything on it, as is the interior. It's not quite standard, but all upgrades are genuine BMW or approved. I've had it coming up to 10 years, but will be for sale very shortly as I'm trimming my fleet down due to impending business expansion and house move, so if you know anyone who may be interested in any such vehicle, feel free to get in touch! Fantastic cars and I'd rather have the 16v four pot than any of the lower powered end of the 6cyl range. Lovely balance with that revvy engine tucked way back in the bay. Also the E30 318is has quadrupled in value at least over the past 2 years. Sure, it was a far more limited model run than the E36, but E36 numbers are rapidly falling, particularly good examples as they became a throwaway car a few years back now and so many have been ruined, thrashed, racked up starship miles, used for drifting etc etc. I'm sure any BMW with a 16v 4cyl engine will become something of a novelty in the not too distant future and the E36 is a car that can be considered one of the last truly "mechanical" BMW's, yet is still well-equipped enough to make a great daily driver and mixes curves and straight lines better than any other mass-prodcued car that I know. Good examples of 328i Sport Coupes will also be a good bets and obviously the M3. The Touring models are also surprisingly thin on the ground compared to the E30 and E46 Tourings that sandwiched them on the model timeline. My daily driver is a very nice 95 320i Touring bought with just over 100k and 10 months MoT for £450.

Saab Turbo convertible gets my vote, well made, quick, especially in HOT guise and the best ones are under 2k ATM. Wish I could keep mine but its got to go (anyone see an ulterior motive here?) see the NVIBOT2K ads section!

Couple of long termers coming up to 10 years old right now, Nissan Z cars and the Mercedes CLS.
OK the Merc's an E class in a designer suit but those lines are unique and the interior screams luxury, my friend's old car had a real Art Deco feel to it. In fact that's the appeal full stop, take a dull as dishwater 320 CDi E class, wave the design stick at it and Shazam! Create a car that to me felt special and unique. They were very expensive new but now sub £10k.

So bumping this as my budget has increased substantially.
I'm currently thinking of a r32 gtr and a c10 style skyline (using the gtr as a daily and keeping the hakosuka as a classic) but also still very tempted by a 260z.
I must admit I do love my Japanese!
I've also fancied a pre 60s project too, anyone have any recommendations?

As others have mentioned you have two types you're exotic type that never drop below £10k. Then there is the nostalgia cars. I think the magic formula for the nostalgia category is the car had to be very popular in the first place with high numbers on the road which have dwindled. I think hot hatches will always do better than things like mazda mx5's because they are so well looked after in garages waiting for summer weekends. Saying that I would still have a mk1 TT and a s2000 in my fantasy barn. (we should have a fantasy barn thread 10 cars £30k).

E36 318is
Classic Impreza,they are dying out at the moment due to outer rear suspension turret rot.
Mk1 MX5,the MGB of the near future and rising in price for good ones.Never make you rich but you'll never lose money on one.
Ford Puma,banger money at the moment but on the brink of Ford scene prices i reckon.When has a sporty Ford not become sought after?

Puma is worth a punt at that price however I don't think it's aged well.

Nissan Micra (Early/mid 90's models), Ford Ka, Peugeot 106 GTI (one of the last true Pug GTIs) and anything with stupidly low miles on the clock. All very popular cars which have been scrapped indiscriminately over the last few years.

I don't think the puma has aged badly?
I'd pick a mint puma too can get very very tidy examples for 800-1k
A millenium edition would be the best bet as they only made 1000
500 or so left according to howmanyleft.

Agreed,it's aged better than the Cougar imho. Our Puma was less than a grand with FSH and 46k on the clock. The racing Puma is a dead cert for rising further in value,not exactly cheap now mind you.
