Yes, those were the days!
Very rare car now I would imagine, and probably impossible to get parts for. One of my mates used to have a black one at the same time. To be honest I’m not sure how we survived it when I think back how we used to drive them.....I was only 20...

Get one of the best daily drive sports cars out there for the money. Porsche do this type of car very well indeed.

A boxster does seem to be at the bottom of the curve money wise. Find a good one and would be a great long term fun car. There’s loads about but this is good for spares in the future to keep it going reasonably cheaply.
An S2000 may increase in value more though due to being more rare, and some would say, a more interesting car.

That's where I struggle, who and how they were driven, hardly something to aspire to. You couldn't give me one of those, and my 306 Gti 6 I never gelled with, had it from new. Maybe a generation thing. Sorry no offence meant

Always wanted one of those MK1 GTE's. Unfortunately my pockets weren't deep enough at the time to buy the car or the insurance!
My first car was a 1984 Astra MK1 1300s though. A monstrous 75bhp

None taken!
The reason there’s not many left is partly because of how they were driven (ie crashed) when they were in their first 10 years.
Personally, although I wouldn’t mind a go in one again, it’s not something I aspire to own again now, been there, done that etc.
The stuff I aspired to own back then was stuff like Aston vantages of the day and 911 turbos etc. Dream cars at the time. Somewhat out of my reach now though sadly.
I had the Opel Kadett variant of one of those. Was a peppy little engine though. It got severely T boned by a land rover.Always wanted one of those MK1 GTE's. Unfortunately my pockets weren't deep enough at the time to buy the car or the insurance!

Nice.....cracking car that took a lot of abuse. Transported 8 back from Ritzy in Tottenham once! Mine was China Blue and reg was B686XPU from memory I believe. Added suitable Manta GTE alloys to mine

Cars like this ^^ will always have appeal, so the buyer can recall youthful adventures. The rolling window of middle aged car nostalgia will sure carry on. Personally, sitting in a velour and grey plastic hatch is not a good enough reason to park one at home. I might like a trip out in one for old times sake. Not sure that my friend's sister Tracey would let me climb aboard in the back of a blue Hillman Avenger these days, might put her hip out.Nice.....cracking car that took a lot of abuse.

This is still the big question for the future of "investment classic cars".
short of cash enthusiasts might welcome this, the speculative kind of owner less so. Could even wipe out layers of restoration businesses.

I was seeing a girl from Hull uni at the time doing Scandinavian languages. We got the boat from Newcastle to Gothenburg and toured Sweden Norway and came back through Denmark and Germany. Car never missed a beat.Nice.....cracking car that took a lot of abuse. Transported 8 back from Ritzy in Tottenham once! Mine was China Blue and reg was B686XPU from memory I believe.

I agree but I think there is too much there to make it disappear. At that point the market and interest will be so niche and small it will account for 0.0000% of CO2 emissions will be of little value taxing or stopping it. I am sure the govts will have a good old crack though
