Future Classic

[yoshie]

2.4 Surf.

I think you have a point in twelve years or so these things will be 30 years old
a lot less of them due too weak heads could be more sought after than the 3 litre as there will be more of them around
we also have a very large fan base and a lot of pride goes into some of these machines there comes a point when all cars are sought after...and therefore classics.....

i even see morris marinas at classic car shows........need i say more

Woosh

mmmm you may be right the only thing that makes something collectible is the lack of and i suppose not many people would want a 2.4 these days and i suspect with the prices of 3rd gens coming down most 2nd gens 2.4/3.0 l will be ending there days as off roaders in the not too distant future.would any one like to buy a future classic

I was thinking of buying a Trabant. Probably get a reasonable one here for 300 quid. and just holding it. They are plastic bodied so it should keep.

Man them things are so dangerous (electric cars)
My neighbour was decking out a Fiat Panda that had an electric fork truck gubbings in it. It went OK, but here the streets are always full of kids playing. And they never hear the thing.

[da SLUG man]

tnt use electric 7.5t vans... they're dangerous in the yard you don't know when they're gonna move.

should be compulsory to only drive backwards!!

i guess classics will be stuff like the focus RS... a lot of others are far too common... VXRs Sts etc.
maybe the ST500... but they didn't really make a big impact!

even golf GTis aren't really special anymore... 10 a penny

You Yorkshire geezas' aint got nuffink on me!



It was pretty jammy.. I didn't fancy the idea of lashing out £150 for two pieces of mesh! So real chuffed i sorted it for so little!

Pah. You're still a beginner yet. When someone tells you a price and you're asking them if they want your first born child as well, then you know you've become Yorkshireman tight.

Nicely done. A bargain.
