stuarty Posted June 16, 2013 Posted June 16, 2013 (edited) I know its hard to believe but i will be 40 next year! Anyway, ive decided i'm going to buy myself a car that i can keep forever and spend time messing with, when my grand kids etc come along. It has to be a sports car, relatively fast, probably 2 seats and must have been stopped production. Also has to be a future classic. My budget is £15k but could go a bit more if i can use it everyday for next few years before it retires to be a garage queen. Here's my list so far! 350Z 313 GT, gunmetal grey, with factory nismo kit and rays and black interior. Z4 M coupe, gunmetal grey, red or black with black interior. Z4 M roaster, gunmetal grey, red or black with red interior. 911, aero kit, gunmetal grey, red or black, black interior. Boxter s, gunmetal grey, red, black, black interior.

ddcboyle Posted June 16, 2013 Posted June 16, 2013 If it were me, it would be a 350z or a 911. Just simply because I like 350z and a 911 is a car I could grow old with, not sure on upkeep costs though Quote
Paddy78 Posted June 16, 2013 Posted June 16, 2013 Z3 M Coupe (AKA Bread Van) - They are already getting on the expensive side, you like Beemers and defo a future classic... if not already. A guy near me has a red one and I lust after it. In a few years, they will be crazy money. There are less than 400 on the road currently. Z4 M Coupe will likely be another one as there are hardly any of them around either. Quote
Ekona Posted June 16, 2013 Posted June 16, 2013 996 3.4 or 4S. Either of those, kept as standard as possible so no aero kit, can only go one way. Zed won't, unlikely the BMWs will either. 1 Quote

General consensus from the experts after keeping my eye on the market for a couple of years. 3.4 with the fried egg lights is looking better as a design as time goes on, but the 4S gains the Turbo look with solid 4wd for cheaps.

I don't think its looks better. Porsche owners are all about originality when buying older cars. 996's look much better with an amberectmy but most refuse to do it. Quote
rtbiscuit Posted June 16, 2013 Posted June 16, 2013 Only the 911 will likely see classic status, the others might make cult cars. The Z3m is a good choice. The x100 xk's from jag are starting to go up in value as well. And as the rot so well it will speed up the increase as more get scrapped over the next 5 years. No longer in production. And first car was built 1996 so the model is already 17 years old. And I reckon in the next 2 years they'll cease production of the x150 as the f type will replace it. Quote
spursmaddave Posted June 16, 2013 Posted June 16, 2013 Next year? Time for at least 4/5 cars before then.... keep forever my @r$e 1 Quote
S1 HNK Posted June 16, 2013 Posted June 16, 2013 Friend has just bought a Z3M coupe and although its a weird looking thing it's certainly got that special feeling so could be worth a look. Quote
stuarty Posted June 16, 2013 Author Posted June 16, 2013 I'm telling you Dave, its happening and its forever, ever and ever!! Quote
stuarty Posted June 16, 2013 Author Posted June 16, 2013 Something fishy about this one, its around £6k to cheap! http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/bmw/z3m-coupe/bmw-z-series-3-2-m-sport-coupe-1999/1460746 Quote
350 Russ Posted June 16, 2013 Posted June 16, 2013 i thought that shape 911 was the one with the crap engine with pourous block? i cant see them going up in value at all. Quote

Shab Posted June 16, 2013 Posted June 16, 2013 what about an S2000? I always thought of buying one of these mainly cos I personally think its underrated lol 2 seats, convertible (or fastback with spoon roof) with an amuse kit your lookin at 10k theres a white one on pistonheads just now hint hint!! Quote
rtbiscuit Posted June 16, 2013 Posted June 16, 2013 S2000 is a great car, had one, but again its more a cult car than a future classic Quote
Dblock Posted June 16, 2013 Posted June 16, 2013 S2000 is a great car, had one, but again its more a cult car than a future classic I disagree. The s2k is still pretty new. Wait 20 years and it the 9krpm engine will be lusted after. Quote
Stutopia Posted June 16, 2013 Posted June 16, 2013 I've got a plan like this too, but involves a Mustang or a Challenger, not a future classic. Good luck with the hunt, I'd go 911 from your list. 1 Quote
