In terms of normal everyday cars i always think the whole " retro " thing plays a big part in their future value.....its like back in the 80's there were far better cars around than the Rs Escorts and Fast Fords Capris/Cortinas etc but it certainly doesnt seem to have harmed their value today as sporty Fords of that era are riding a wave of popularity at the moment fetching strong money...nobody ever thought a mark 1 Escort would end up going for 60k one day so why shouldnt the same apply to a Focus.... people get to a certain age when they can now afford stuff they liked but maybe couldnt afford when they were younger....hence " retro " stuff sells well. If you have somewhere to store it just pug it away and forget about it for 15/20 years it'll still end up more than a bullseye worth of interest rates regardless Edited January 3, 2023 by gnasher16 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
