Classic cars can be a solid investment, with rare and loved classics fetching millions at auction.
But you don't have to sell out vast sums to buy a used car that could appreciate in value. We've asked the analysts at Cap HPI to pick out some affordable cars that could become future classics.
The most affordable future classics
One of the early electric vehicles, the oddball Twizy has been in production since 2012 and is still being made today.
You’d think that would depress its classic potential, but its low production volume, way-out-there looks, 50mph top speed and relatively tame 62-mile range helped to make the Twizy something of an acquired taste.
They’re quite hard to find — there’s only one on PistonHeads — but prices start from £3500 upwards.

Another French fancy, the Avantime is the only three-door MPV produced to date.

Brera 1750 TBi
The late model 1750 TBi is the one to search out. 60 odd Breras and 40 ish Spiders in the last year of production.
I'd add the scirocco to the
I'd add the scirocco to the list as previous golf based coupes are classics with rising values, also I reckon the honda crz will become a future classic, agree re' the MG z cars and 75s, all excellent cars and massively under rated, and along with the original slk mentioned earlier, Volvo's original C70.
The avantime was odd but I can see its inclusion, the other, same era, renault oddity, the vel satis, as mentioned, was considerably uglier but I reckon will be a classic.

Early Rover 75's have seen an increase, even the last ones have started to go up - the MG versions of the 25/45 have seen a premium over a few years ago, nice cars, would rather have one of any of these that either of the Renaults listed above.
