6 Future Classics That We Need To Buy Now
1. A Clean, Unmolested S2000
The S2000 is a true enthusiast car, and while they’re not necessarily cheap right now, they’re only becoming more sought after with time (especially unmodified ones). Their high-revving stock engines combined with 2-seater charm and sleek styling create the winning combination for a future classic that will only increase in value. If you’re lucky enough to own one that has it’s stock features, you may just be sitting on a future goldmine.
2. The R33 Skyline
The R33 is a bit of an awkward middle ground between the legendary Godzilla and the famed R34. This factor combined with the fact that the vehicle isn’t yet legal in the US means prices are still reasonable. When the R33 becomes ‘Murica-legal in several years, demand will surely spike, as will the price, so this is one to keep your eye on.
3. Cadillac CTS-V Wagon
It’s hard not to respect the combination of carnage and class that is the CTS-V. An even rarer version (the wagon) is something that is already highly desired by wagon fans, but in future years, it should only become more of a desired vehicle between performance enthusiasts and collectors alike. It features the same pavement-pounding engine as the C6 ZR1, and it’s definitely one for the books.
4. The C4 Corvette
The C4 is a bit of a hit and miss car, depending on the year and options. Granted you’re able to track one down with one of the better engine options along with a manual trans, you’ll be in for a good investment. The value of these is already beginning to rise. If you start shopping, be prepared to come across some Corvette enthusiasts who think they’re already sitting on a goldmine.
5. A Clean Quattro
The first gen TT was definitely a quirky car, and despite its questionably feminine styling and some early aero problems, it has an enthusiastic following. A clean, unmodified quattro version of the TT is a great platform that should only become more and more desirable, whether it has the 1.8T or the 3.2 V6.
6. The Older Z Cars
Who could resist a classic Nissan sports car? The popularity of the 240 has only lead to mass amounts of over-modified drift missiles, and the most logical way to go is back. The 260z and 280z both have good aftermarket support, and they’re prime candidates to keep stock or modify. If you can find one that hasn’t been rusted or destroyed, it’s probably worth picking up.

Mustang foxbody ?
Oh yah
MR2’s.. Murica fewkin scraped them
What about the Subarus before the Stinkeye?
By Stinkeye, do you mean the ‘Fishpie’ GDB?
What about a clash Toyota MR2 second generation
Why is it that every damn time I try to start saving for a car, some website comes along and screws me over by saying that the car is a “future classic” and does nothing but help to jack up the price. Nice job, CT. Thanks a lot.
MK1 MR2
Prices are starting to go up now. Last year breakers were buying them up in droves. This year a rotten one is around £500, with low mileage cars fetching 6k+
If you buy one now and dry store it, I think it would be good for 10k in a few years. Especially as there is a wealth of parts for them, a vibrant and still flourishing community, AND a guy in durham that will stick a 250bhp supercharged v6 into it which makes it into a proper track weapon.
IMO still the best MR2, and will go up in value over the next 5 years.
As someone currently looking for an AW11, I’ve noticed them going for £800+, all the way up to 12k: I think I was a little late to the wagon. I’ve seen immaculate 03-plate ZZW30’s go cheaper than the majority of AW11s.
Qian Li Good News!
Can I just say how much I agree with you.
