The man who said that magic line 'Ray, fire Quattro "is Gene Hunt, a fictional detective in" Ashes To Ashes "- TV series in 1980s Britain - and he drives a bright red of the UR Quattro Audi. While Hunt PC completely UN worldview makes fascinating viewing, this is undoubtedly Quattro, that become the star of the show.
They are attractive £ 8,000 on eBay, Internet forums are live people who are trying to track down the model for themselves and for 30-some things that were teenagers living in the 80s, he can realize them that the cars they loved then you may be classic cars of tomorrow.
Some people think with some justification, that the car that we had for 20 years can now qualify for a classic car insurance deal. Others have found some spare cash out and buy a Mk1 Golf GTi campaign and are now firmly in the mindset of a classic car fan.
Moreover, during the conversation is Morris Minors and Triumph herald (although we love them, of course), what will make classic cars of the future?
Sports Cars
Mazda MX5 - A brilliant two-seater soft top, which has a huge fan base for original Mk1s with popup headlights. Started life with a 1600cc engine and then enlarged to 1800cc. Offering the "old" styling with excellent reliability and cracks backup spares.
Fiat Barchetta - strange but oddly appealing. Left-hand drive and sold only in limited numbers in the UK, it has a distinctive appearance makes it a future classic security.
Lotus Elan (1990 models) - Lotus guys go crazy and a little fluffy for front-wheel drive and engine of Isuzu. But with sharp transmission and Lotus badge, he has appealed. But keep in mind the fact that the front wheels are responsible for managing and reducing power consumption.
TVR S - based largely rounded sports cars of the 1970s and introduced as 3000 m in the 1986 Motor Show at Earls Court in London. A retro-style, low price model to give bettors an introduction to property TVR. S1 2.8i engine is Ford, but V8s gave 4-liter V8 madness. Of course it will break down, it TVR! Vauxhall VX220 - Yes - Vauxhall. VX220 is built by Lotus, much like the Lotus Elise, and it is interesting, rare and different. Not available in large quantities, handles fantastic and every inch of future classic car.
Aston Martin DBS - probably his best chance for "Aston deal" and if you can hunt down one of the original 6 cylinder DBS since the early 1970s, launched as a temporary measure while the V8 comes out. Later models like the DB7 Virage Vanquish and already has a classic glory.
Hot Hatch
While they may have been the staple diet of boy racers in 1980, there is no doubt that the "hot hatches" now have their place in the classic car folklore.
Talbot Sunbeam Lotus - Classic 1970 chintz. Launched at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1979, but supply does not start until the summer of this year. At that time, Chrysler UK was sold to the French Peugeot concern that changing the name of Talbot Motor Company. Initially the cars were only available in Embassy Black with broad silver side stripes and gray interior and the early cars also boasted twin exit exhaust pipes. Great if you can get one.
Peugeot 205 GTi - Not content with Germans Wolfsburg, all in their own way, Frenchmen decided to take them to the 1980 best competitor to the Golf GTI. Available in hatchback and convertible models, initially with 1.6 and later much-meaner 1,9 engine, front wheel drive. Now bargain buy and very suitable to be supplemented.
Ford Escort XR3i - beloved of boy racers everywhere - so it is very difficult to find one in one piece, making it less rare. Escort RS Turbo is also available - even less of them on the road, but with many built in the trees in Essex! Great shape, icon, fast, and approved by Jackie Stewart. This makes the list.
Ford Sierra Cosworth - the original "Cozzie" begins to get a large following and could soon be held in the same terms as the old Lotus Cortina. Passion for sports hatch later saw the introduction of XR4i with its engine V6 2.8. Still, however, Sierra!
Audi UR Quattro: high-tech flying wedge with a roaring engine. He jumped into life in 1980 with 4WD and a whole host of other great German car-making technology packed into it. It was brilliant and brilliantly on the road rally scene. And now, many thanks to demand for Gene Hunt. Most talked about "modern classics" of the year.
Luxury and sports cars
In many ways, luxury motors have the best chance of achieving the status of classic car - they are well made, high-value, and generally well supported by their original owners. So what would make a good investment?
Jaguar X300: Essentially a cosmetic advance XJ40, X300 develop but enthusiasts. The first time Jaguar equipped compressor that puts XJ against BMW M5 and Mercedes E500.
BMW M3 - E23, 1977 classic is now, so well preserved as models E30 M3 (which ended in 1992) could follow suit. With harder and more aerodynamic body than just E30, ripped road race circuit.
Mercedes 500SL - 500SL was recorded as the fastest production Mercedes R107 design ever produced - like 00-60 times of 7.4 seconds and a top speed of 140 mph (230 km / h). A late-1980s classic and well worth the investment. I hope this is a trip down memory lane for many readers. These cars have style, although we may not have seen him at that time. The best classic cars of the future
