Distilled from figures gathered through auction houses, sales websites, advertisements in magazines, students from a university in Coventry have made a list of future classics that are worth 'preserving'.
It concerns cars that are now new from the box, or recently from the (last) box. The New - BMW - Mini before the update model hit the market. Both the Mini One, Cooper and Cooper 'S'. The Volkswagen 'New Beetle'. The Citroën C3 Pluriel, which of course is about that simple convertible top. The Mazda RX8, of course because of the wankel engine and the so-called suicide doors. Then the Opel GT, Lotus design and General Motors technology. Then it was concluded that the Mazda MX-5, Honda S2000, Lotus Elise, MGF and MGTF, Fiat 500, various Fords with RS addition, Subaru WRX, Volkswagen R32, the various BMW M models, Fiatjes with Abarth addition and Renaults with Sport addition are also certainly the classic of the future. So are economical?
