Classic Cars of Tomorrow

Auto collecting requires much less then the $50,000 or so price of many models now considered classics. Instead: Purchase those that many experts see as classic cars of the future. Examples: Lotus Europa, Lotus Elan, Jaguar E-type or 140. Also: Mini Coopers, Triumph TR-3's, MGA's, and Bugeye Sprites. Caution: The classic car market is unpredictable. Note: A car must be restored to near-perfect condition to command top prices.
