More specifically, do you guys reckon that the remaining unblemished RB5s and P1s will be worth significant amounts of money in ten or twenty years time ?

pslewis

They will indeed.

BUT, the single most important thing a Classic Car has to be is ORIGINAL!

Modified, Polished Turds will not be considered much higher than the junk.

The un-modified models will be the ones everyone will be seeking ..... more so in the case of the Impreza - which suffers more than most cars in it's attraction for people who cannot leave things be

I dont think so, I think the main one will be the 22B - the likes of the P1s will be worth something, dont get me wrong but they are not going to rocket in value.

I think there will come a time when there are very few nice ones left (modified or not) and values will correspond - but I doubt they will ever see silly money.

Anyone seen how much an old Mini can be worth nowadays?!

The Chief

Yep without a doubt.

look at the S1 RS Turbo - even decent S2's are commanding silly money now

Need more idiots to crash some more first.....

They will surely be worth a fair bit in original unmodified (or small contemporary modifactions) once they get to about 20 years old, think Cortina MkII 1600E, worth about 3 times what even a good GT is worth (so why did my Old man sell his well easy, in 1974 it was worth much less than it is now!)

HOWY

Well on a recent visit to the haynes Motor Museum Haynes International Motor Museum - The UK's largest exhibition of the greatest cars from around the world! I was dissapointed that they didn't have a Subaru on display and yet they had a Peugeout 306 ??? I'm sure on my last visit a few years ago they had an Escort Mexico too which has now disappeared. However they did have a Porsche Turbo old minis, De lorean and a newish Ferrari 360

Yes
No doubt about that
But it will be the very very rare unmodified classic examples.
Esp limited editions RB5 P1 etc.

Like most Museums (of all kinds) Haynes probably have more 'artifacts' than they can display (I know BMIHT at Gaydon can only display about 1/4) so it all depends on what is on rotation!

D.K.1

Which shouldn't take too long now seeing as the chav majority seem to be buying them cheap and aren't able to handle them
