Your 'Investment Garage'

[cosmicegg]

Agree with integrale / Mk2 golf gti / rallye / Lotus Carlton / Toyota corolla coupe

Those are already heading up in price now though.

I'd love a Toyota Corolla AE86, more so the Japanese Toyota Sprinter Trueno

but 8k+ for a rusty old 1.6 twin cam toyota.... not so much.

Here's my tuppence:

Ford Puma Racing - admitedly the 1.7 standard Puma was better value but their exlusivity should secure a premium in the future.
Mitsubishi Evo IX FQ-400
Subaru Impretza Richard Burns
Renault Clio Trophy
Renault Megane R26

These are classics already.....
Mk2 Escort RS2000 Custom
Mk1 Escort too - probably any RS model.
White with the blue stripe.....

Modern Cars........
I reckon the BMW M3 CSL will be up there.
(The E30 M3 is a classic already - some selling for 25k+)

What about the Renault 5 GT Turbo?
The old shape early 80's one - wide bodied thing costs a fortune to buy
and the Renault GTA V6 Turbo.?
this was the alternative to the Sierra Cosworth back in 1986

my 2p.....

A mint S1 like Mr Boags, or perhaps it would have to be a mint sport 160

A red Mk2 Golf GTI

A Merc 190 Cosworth

A 993 Turbo

[Peter]

Not really investments (more like achieveable) but would love to have -

HF Integrale EVO
2nd Generation Clio V6
S1 Exige
Alfa Giulia

Cheers, Peter

[rossybee]

Renault Avantime

[jamie]

Agree with the 993, maybe a C4S? plus a 340R & CSL

Problem is the word investment all of these cars mentioned would required a lot of TLC as they get past the 10-15 years old mark. I think you could potentially you could get an appreciating car but not so sure you could actually make money out of them.

Can't believe no-one has posted the most obvious candidate yet

It is quite a thought that had I bought a 964RS when I got my Exige, I could have driven it for the last 4 years, and sell it on now for probably a 10k profit As with all investments very hard to predict of course.

I reckon good investment cars need to be a) rare, and b) genuinely good cars. Take the Exige S1 and S2- both great cars, and as an all round package the S2 is a better (sorry, but it is), but the S1 will always have more investment potential as it was built in relatively tiny numbers. I could see the 2-11 doing well long term. Very rare, and just the kind of off-beat, covetable wheels collectors like to have in their garage.
