Throw myself back 30 years and a DB6 was for sale at felbridge garage, east Grinstead for £2,500 for months, I purchased a 2 year old cortina instead
So for the price of a second hand mondeo you can get a DB7 these days...... Early i6 ones are mostly series jaguar running gear so that's
parts sorted but still £16,000 + for a good one and you can get manual boxes 
I ran a V12 XJS 10 years ago for £650, one in the same condition would be a couple of thousand now, more complex would be an early XK8/XKR money, a
decent drop head one if these has to rise in value i would think, these are around £4000.
Classic range rovers also are on the way up, you hardly see any 2 door ones these days, very easy to work on and fix cheaply.
Cheers Mark

Audi A2. Especially the 3l model.
Always makes me smile when I drive mine.
??????????? I don't remember a 3.0 A2!
Stuff that is really cheap now but will be worth shed loads in 15 years time - Alfa Romeo Spider FWD, Fiat Coupe 5cyl, top end SAAB's
3L as in 3liters/100km or 95mpg. Engine is 1.2Tdi

Citroen Xantias are dirt cheap now and a proper Citroen. They'll all be gone in a couple of years and prices will shoot up.

I think the jag XJS would be a good one especially a v12, notoriously rust prone and no one wants a huge engine like that but could go the same way as
the E type worth buying a clean one and putting it away
Wish I'd bought a few SD1's when no one wanted them too

I wish I'd kept both my mk1 fiesta (1.1L) and my S1 106 (1.0 XN forte)
I recon the S1 106 rallye values are on the rise already (really must get one soon  )

I wouldnt be surprised if 70's and 80's Vauxhall stuff starts going up soon. Firenzas especially the rare droop snoots are already
collectable and the Monza/ Senator Coupe have their followings but i can even see run of the mill Chevettes, Mark 1 (rwd) Cavaliers and Mantas
becoming collectable. Easy to fix and easy to make faster.

I think just about every vehicle I've owned will or already has become `classic' - first car was a 2 door Mk1 escort , followed by a Mk2
transit (very early one , left the factory with Mk1 running gear....) , Talbot express van , Renault 5 , and Alfa 164 (only a handful of those still
on the road....)
Early Mx5's are already going up in price - mine cost me £50 2 1/2 years ago , a good one now can go for £1500
Its cuz I is blond , innit

The original post said "modern cars"
Now to me that does not include the French shite ie 205 206 clio etc etc
nor does it include saxo or Volvo tanks, or bmw/audio /merc rep cars , that includes them all !!
Modern cars don't seem to have a soul
And that is the problem
Thats was probably spelt wrong, or had some grammer, that the "grammer police have to have a moan at

Renault fuego... My god I don't think I've thought about one of them since the mid 80s. Nice and slightly odd looking car.
My classics predictions...
Audi a2
Citroen c6
Honda HRV
Isuzu vehicross
Ford Puma
Smart coupes are few in number, fairly rust proof, and well looked after, so I think they might become highly collectible.
I also think the more powerful MG ZT's and estate versions will make classic status.
Going back a bit I agree with an earlier post that Vauxhall Calibres are on the verge of leaving the valley of unlovability and will become saught
after. I love Monza's too. I've considered buying a couple on different occassions over the last six months.

As said earlier, Mantas, Kadetts, Chevettes. If they had Ford badges, everyone would be after them!
I just sold a 15 year old Manta clutch on ebay, got £330 for it!! So they're getting harder to come by...
Kicking myself every day for getting rid of the Kadett in my avatar...was an SR, only 200 imported into the UK, rarer than the GT/Es

I spent most of my life thinking the Ford badge was superior to the Vauxhall badge. These days, when I play my favourite internet game of 'What
would you buy for under £2500 on car and classic"I find that 60s, 70's and early 80's Vauxhall/Opel stimulates my want gland far
more than old Ford stuff does.
Old Ford stuff feels very commonplace. Vauxhall stuff has more rarity value and more understated design. I've become a dedicated Vauxhall fan
over the last five years or so. In terms of the afformentioned game, I really want to buy this auld beasty...
eBay Item
The right wheels, fat rubber, lowered, rusty holes attended to, charcoal grey primer, keep it shabby and mean looking... lovely.

I wish I had kept the 4x4 Royale Coupe I had a few years ago ! Apparently only 7 were built and the other 6 were all badged as Monzas.
