Bit over budget, but will never drop in value.

You forget how made MG went in the early 2000's, almost a shame they went bust really.

It makes you realise how terrible MG were.

The car weighs more, handles worse, and is more expensive than a Z4M of the same era, it does nothing better... awful. Glad to see the company gone when this was the kind of thing it was producing.

It's a lot cooler than a Z4M though

Looks like its been made by Barry in his Shed.

Looks like a Homer designed car.

Clio Trophy 182, they are going up and up in value, mines worth £1k more in 4 years of ownership

I can see these going the way of the 205 gti. I think all the ragged and abused examples will be dead in a few years leaving only the unmolested and pampered versions left, which will attract a premium price.

I'd also chuck the EP3 Civic Type R into the above as well, don't see very many these days and they were absolutely iconic.

Rover 200 Vi

That's an interesting call. I own one of those too jointly as a track car. Although its been parked up for two years with a growing amount of mayo in the oil.

I can see the BRM's fetching reasonable money in a few years. I'm not sure the standard VI will due to the general bad rep they have.

I'd rather have a Z4M, that MG, as rare and nutty as it is, is absolutely horrid.

Is it? I'd be embarrassed driving it most places!

For some reason that car seems to remind me of the latest Honda civic type-R.........

It is a shame what happened to MG. Now they are Chinese and are properly awful cars. Another iconic British brand down the toilet :/

So nothings changed then?

Vince · 21 Jan 2017 at 16:24

If I had 10k to spend on a future classic I would probably buy either a 986 Boxster S or another 996. In fact for 10k there aren't many cars I would rather own. I would probably go with the boxster to be honest as a 10k 996 might not be that great a proposition and is likely to need vast sums of money thrown at it.

Not necessarily.

They were awful long before the Chinese bought them.
