Great advice as always. A mind of information and entertaining. Keep them coming.

Predicting future classics is usually about identifying cars that are currently cheap, but won't be for long so you should get in now. Most of these cars have already jumped in value in recent years.

I agree. Future classics that are at the bottom of their depreciation curve, less than 10 grand I'd say. Clio Williams are rare as fk now, how can they be a future classic, they already have been a classic for the past 10 years smh........

Agree, when I see someone saying an E46 M3 is a future classic......in my opinion some possible future classics are the Pegueot RCZ-R, the Lexus SC430 and the Lexus LC500, also the Kia Stinger. All share a common thing, great cars that were not sold a lot, then 15-25 years later people start realizing they were actually good cars and there you go...

I'm in saudi....Mike and his Wheeler Dealers cheers me up no end....he's a real gem in this day and age of an insincere world !!!!....keep up the great work mate !!

The Lexus LS is spot on Mike. Here in the US low mileage clean original cars are appreciating exponentially. At the local dealer auction one with 50k sold for $7600. That car 5 years ago would have been $2500.

For me the car I keep coming back to is the Honda S2000,JDM versions in AP1 from Japan are fetching the equivalent of €30,000 before shipping & taxes etc,get one with the matching hardtop!

The final Saab 95. Beautiful design and relatively few made.

Wow - amazing foresight. Im in awe of somebody able to pick out future classics that are already appreciating, because they are already.....future classics. Well done Mike - must have taken literally seconds of research.

Lol I'm surprised you splits would know anything about cars. Stick to what you know, if you can think of anything yo-yo and leave Mike to what he knows. Thank You come again.

I used to have a 924S with low miles. Damn it. One car to also look out for is the Crossfire SRT6. Supercharged AMG engine and only 105 right hand drive hard tops ever made. I am putting my 440hp one up for sale sometime in the next year or so.

Good video, all decent cars. It's not difficult to pick a future classic at any budget. Whatever you choose, buy the best you can afford because you love it and not just for an investment.

Got my 87 Porsche 944 NA 2 years ago and after a steady restoration it has nearly doubled in value, plus an amazing and fun car to drive and show

Great video. The question for me is what future classic is rock bottom at the moment in the UK?🧐

Awesome , will you make a southern California list?

Thank you Mike. Very interesting choices from a person who has made a living from wheeler dealing. It is your knowledge that kept us entertained for years please keep doing it. I am so fed up of everything you do being criticised by people who think Ed is a British Scotty Kilmer. Be honest he was a great part of the show but times change and fame and fortunes likewise. Live with it.

I remember Mike saying years ago that early Toyota Celica's will NEVER be a classic car. Hmmmm. Good fun video though and gets everyone discussing what cars should be classics. Thanks for all the great car programs Mike.

Funny ending :) Mr. Brewer, first of all, I am a big fan and huge admirer, but: 1. Clio Williams - they are gone. You cant find a good one and if you do, it is very expensive already. It was for a reasonable price long time ago. 2. Audi R8 - absolutely agree 3. Mazda RX-7 - come on , it is a unicorn, it is impossible to find one :) 4. Lexus LS - maybe you are right, I have respect for your experience. 5. Porsche 924 - not interesting. I think 944 has a future, but not 924. And what about 928? I am chceking prices from 2017, when, I thinq, the prices were on the bottom. Since then, they are still rising and it is not so cheap car now...

Mk1 Ford focus st170 will be a future classic in 5 yrs. After 10 years you will see them at 10k. Today they are around for just 800 quid needing work and some are asking 5k for clean low mileage examples.

One car that is now a modern classic is the fiat coupe! Beautiful looking inside and out with insane performance on the 20vt, the 20vt is the sort after one. Prices are going up!

Good shout on the R8 but honestly I think clean air regulations will kill off most of the cars made in the last 10-15 years. At least in the UK youre only really safe if you've got something from 1981 and before

Also older Mazda RX7's are undervalued! Get one NOW while they still (incredibly in 2021) cheap! Later models are worth 40k now.

Not really except for maybe the top spec models like a Saab 900 T16S cabriolet or the very last generation 9-5 of which not many were made/sold . As for Rover group, those were never that popular outside UK so there will never be a serious classic car collectors market for those cars outside the UK.

classic cars prices explained, when men get to a certain age they get the urge to try and re live their youth because life and cars were better back then even though in reality they probably weren't, the boomer generation craved for 60s cars like Anglias, Zephyrs etc so the prices shot up but as the Boomers died off the prices levelled out, along came Generation X craving for 80s cars like 205 gti, xr2, cavaliers etc so prices shoot up, next lot to come along will be the Millennials craving for Ford Fiesta ST, Saxo etc so get investing 😎

Mercedes w110 220d, split window VW kombi, bay window VW kombi, jaguar XJ6, Maserati Sebring series one, Mercedes w123 ? I think they all will become classics in the future.

If you want a car that will explode in value... Lancer Evo 7 and 8 bone stock, or a lightly modified one that can be restored to complete stock config... Go for high performance low variants for added value. No.2 dodge viper gts last Gen manual, that car will see a massive surge in value in few years time... No.3 ferrari 456 is the last manual v12 ferrari that is still relatively cheap, but all of this is going to end very soon, people are noticing that it is still cheap for a gated ferrari and prices are already on rise.

Investment cars are gine if you have a barn to store low mileage, pristine condition classics in. Plus the time to look after them properly. If buy one to drive it's going tonlose value.

I wouldn't be speculating on that little bunch any time soon. Clio is already top money. The others you could probably run and break even on, maybe export the RX7 to the States. With emissions legislation tightening, the clock is already ticking on older combustion engines.

They produced just under 68k RCZ's in different configurations, the most sort after (and appreciating) being the R. Prices on the HDi, 200 and 156THP's are still not increasing, though they have seemed to have settled. If you want to put your money in one, then go HDi if you don't want to spend loads or an R if you do have the cash as these have gone up by a few thousand over the last few years with circa 290 left on the UK's roads, just avoid the track day specials (a few went to these companies who specialised in track day packages) and watch out for crashed ones.

Interesting; the "modern classic" car market exists only because advantage can be taken of the nostalgia of those with a lump sum from their early retirement Final Salary pension. Flush with cash, they decide that they want to own the car they, or their Dad, always wanted. Take fas an example, the Ford Escort RS 2000, of course these are a classic with rarity and enough to make them special, and because of this they are expensive. They can't find/afford one of these so settle for the lesser models, this eventually ends up with dross like the Mk2 Escort 1.3 L selling at auction for £10K. It's not a classic; it was slow, undesirable, boring and dull when new, never mind now. It's no wonder that a couple of years later the same car is back at the auction with only a few miles more on it after the buyer of this "classic" has removed their Rose tinted specs and realised just how awful it really was and remains. There are "Modern Classics" but for them to be so they have to have something that made them special when they were new. Mike's example of the Clio Williams is a good choice, the Mk1 Golf GTI, especially if you can find a RHD 1.6 version with the small rear lights, is another. More recent 21st Century choices would be BMW Mini R53 Cooper S with the Supercharger, or the Fiat 595 Abarth, This doesn't mean the other models of these cars in poverty trim with asthmatic engines are future classics just because the desirable versions are unavailable/too expensive. An example of this madness was at a recent "classic" auction when a Baby-shit brown Vauxhall Astra 1.3L, in far from concourse condition, sold for £10K!
