If we are putting in requests, can you make it a handlebar tache?!

RWD, simple mechanics, used in loads of motorsport and loads of tuning parts available. Gaurantees classic status.

theres a mk 5 escort cab on line for sale £11750 ... they were crap when they were new even ford admitted it?

They are indeed... Crap.
White Escort XR3i cabriolet. They were everywhere when I was growing up in Essex.

Was at the club meet this morning and asked the same question. The answered were interesting, but came down to these basic, simple points. Any performance or sports vehicle that has no driver aides will become a classic due to the enjoyability of man (or woman) and machine.

that excludes every modern car then

(all are smothered in driver aids)

Not all of them. Things like the Alfa 4C, Toyota GT86, and a few others have either no, or minimal driver aides. Something like the new Focus RS with its drift button however, no future classic there!!

The focus will be wanked over forever, unfortunately...
