Many of the 1980's & 90's cars have already jumped in values over past 12 months and no doubt will continue to do so - save any 'crash'

It goes without saying that any 'interesting' car must also be one you wanted in the past and one you will enjoy owning. There are always many very low mileage, few owner 'old' cars under the 'classic' banner but, like vintage cars, simply do not float my boat.

Secondly Condition is paramount.

That said then Limited numbers is still a major key IMO so check out :-
Peugeot Rallye (205, 206 & 306 variants) - these seem rare and not too daft £££ when they pop up.

Other than that stick to the BMW variants of the e30 325iSport & M3's, e36 M3 GT, e46 M3 CSL & 1M (not being bias at all :hahaha:) also the e28 M5, and e24 M6. All tried, tested and sure fire collectables so when the day comes to off-load there will be some buyers out there.

In meantime enjoy whatever you own :beer:

That CLK BS price seems very reasonable to be honest, especially with the warranty.

I am always on the lookout for cars which are interesting to own and drive, whilst not costing a fortune, and with any luck going up in value. My personal preference is for cars from about 2005 or before, my current cars go in age from a 1989 Mercedes 300SL to a 2004 996 turbo. What are your thoughts on cars to look at. My current suggestions are:

BMW 8 series
Mercedes 190E Cosworth

Also suggested so far by nw99 have been

2009 997 turbo
Escort Cosworth
Elise S1

MC

Had a 190E Cosworth. Boy oh boy did it consume a lot of oil, relatively slow but a lovely car to "drive"

E30 325i
Z4M Coupe
Z1
Alfa SZ
205GTi
Porsche 968CS

They would be my suggestions for a fun/investment balance
