    I don't think used japanese cars will ever be rare, I reckon there'll always be a stream of jdm imports

    They might not be rare, but good condition JDM imports I think will go up in value at least somewhat. I can see a good condition stock DC2 for example being worth a few quid in 10 years or so, when good condition stock examples become more rare.

    There's a weird stigma against Japanese cars. **** them if they don't enjoy them, more for us. :)

    Less than 70,000 FD RX7's ever made, many lost to drifting, trees and total engine failure.
    A Spirit R is always going to be expensive, especially in ten years time.

    I'd say the same about S15's, less than 40,000 made, even less Spec R and they're getting cheap enough to drift so that will weed out the bad ones and you'll be left with a lower number of good ones.

    Sure look at Escorts, farm cars that because of Rally are now worth a mint in good nick.

    Aye and look at integrales, the most successful rally car ever and yet so cheap bar the evo's.

    That's Lamcia for you though, people have little faith in them.
    Thing about the Integrales is besides the higher spec cars, there's not much to write home about.

    With the FD3S and the S15 Spec R you've got a lot to write home about.

    You've got a lot to write home about in any integrale. The problem for lancia is that not many associate it with rallying. Ask most to name a rally car and they'll mention the audi Quattro or ford escort, yet everyone forgets about the stratos, the 037, the integrale or the s4.
    Funny old world really.

    Everyone forget the Stratos? Are you serious? :eek:
    It's only one of the most famous rally car of all time.

    I've no doubt the proper cars are great but the majority of them are rusty old A-B's.
    Fun in the same way a standard early Golf is but the GTI is the one people will want, ya know?

    Have noticed NA MX5's taking a bit of a hike in the last year.
    Clean early models are getting rarer than I thought and I'm now tempted to buy another one, a really clean one and keep it standard while my blue one gets the race car for the road treatment.
    The great roadster bargain is taking a turn it seems!

    On a similar note, FD3S RX-7 would make a great investment now. If you could get a Spirit R and store it I could see you make a mint.
    Not sure the RX-8 will ever be quite as successful.

    Most 8's end up being left for dead when the motor finally goes. Or broken for parts otherwise. They're common because they're new, but they won't be common in 5 to 10 years.

    Ask most people to name a rally car...very few will mention lancia let alone stratos. Lancias don't really rust....well they do, just not to the same extent that was made out by the British media after the recall. They even offered a 6 year anti-rust warranty. You'd hardly offer a warranty if you thought everyone would claim it.

    You may be right about them coming around in a few years but I don't think they got the same following the RX7 has.
    Doesn't mean I don't like them, they're definitely something I'd consider in the future.

    Was behind a serious one spitting flames a few weeks back, they're some car for the right people. :)

    Well you're probably right about the rust but I'm gonna put that rally theory to test tomorrow. :p
    May be cheating asking at a classic car show though.

    I definitely think the Evo's will be worth serious money. Especially the two we came across!

    Another car I can see being worth decent money is the Fiat coupe 20v turbo....you can have lots of fun with one of those:cool:

    That's pure Itallian stuff right there, remove metal and add price. :p

    I think the last of the Boat Tail Alfa Spiders will fetch good money.
    Not as well mad or well handling as an MX-5, awkwardly LHD but they are pretty. :cool:
