If you have been toying with the idea of writing off your old car, maybe it is time to reconsider. Keeping it for the next 10-15 years might bring you a future profit if the car is among the list established by the auction specialist British Car Auctions.
According to its spokesman Tim Naylor, Jaguar and MG will still be icons in the coming years despite troubled times for the former and the collapse of the latter. The XJS coupe and XJ6 could prove to be real winners so, if yours is starting to rust, perhaps it is time to look after it. Like the E Type nowadays, the recent XK8 and XKR will probably be highly valued in twenty years.
If you cannot afford a Jaguar, a coupe or a convertible will bring you the best return on investment. The MX5 looks set to be the future MG B. Like the British convertible, its volume is impressive and it re-introduced the traditional roadster into modern life. In the same trend, the fashion victim Audi TT will also be a big hit, especially the first generation. Its design, which takes its inspiration from Bauhaus, will be a designer’s classic. Surprisingly, the Peugeot 206 CC is included in the list. Many people may find this laughable, but this small convertible brought the folding metal roof concept to the masses.
Once again, Mazda shines with the RX-8. With its rotary engine and its rear doors, it will become a cult. Let’s hope petrol will still be available to fuel the voracious engine. Among Japanese cars, the S2000 will also become a collector’s item. Its high rev engine will be more than enough to encourage people to buy it.
