Makinat klasike që janë nënvlerësuar

Shpesh herë thuhet se ka tre gjëra të caktuara në jetë: vdekja, taksat dhe makinat klasike, vlera e të cilave vazhdimisht rritet.

Sa i përket dy gjërave të para, ne nuk është se mund të bëjmë shumë, mirëpo ne mund të ju tregojmë modelet e makinave klasike, të cilat ne mendojmë që shumë herë janë të nënvlerësuara.

Pra, për këtë qëllim kemi zgjedhur 20 klasikë nga vitet 1970 duke filluar nga ato me buxhet më të ulët e deri tek ato më të shtrenjtat. /Indeksonline/

Lotus Elan +2

Slide 2 of 21: Target price: £7000-27,000 Longer and heavier than the standard model, the +2 gives you more Elan, and maybe slightly less Lotus, as a result. But let’s get’s some perspective: it shares the same backbone chassis concept as its smaller sibling and much of the running gear and handles beautifully, while also being more useable and, often, as much as half the price.

Jensen-Healey

Slide 3 of 21: Target price: £5000-15,000 Styling that could be described as ‘challenging’ (in the sense that a 50,000-piece jigsaw of the North Pole is challenging) and reports of unreliability (much of it from the alloy Lotus 907 engine) hurt the J-H’s chances of success when new. Today, with the niggles long-since fixed, they seem strangely cheap given the performance (0-60mph in just 7.8sec) and backstory on offer. Even the best of them are sub-£15k.

BMW E3 3.0Si

Slide 4 of 21: Target price: £10,000-25,000 While prices for BMW’s classic E9 coupé have gone interstellar, its four-door brother remains a relative bargain. The humble 2500 and 2800 handle well but the 3.0Si is a monster. Capable of reaching 60mph in just over 7 secs from its 200bhp-injected ‘six’, it’s a CSi in civvies and the lairiest limo this side of a Benz 450SEL 6.9. 


Fiat Dino

Slide 5 of 21: Target price: £25,000-70,000 Not the bargain it once was, but look at the positives and you’d have to say prices have further to go. Here’s a stunning Bertone-designed coupé, powered by a Ferrari engine and (in the case of the 2.4 version) even built by Ferrari at Maranello. And they’re half the price of their Spider siblings. Still too expensive? Try Fiat’s other criminally underrated ’70s coupé, the 130, for just £12k. 


Mazda RX-7

Slide 7 of 21: Target price: £2000-7500 Light, lithe and cheaper than Ford’s less-technologically-advanced Capri, the first-generation RX-7 impresses as much with its chassis balance as with the smoothness of its little 12A rotary engine. Rotary horror stories scare many buyers away, but rebuild costs aren’t as bad as you think and there are plenty of specialists. 


Porsche 928

Slide 8 of 21: Target Price: £10,000-28,000 Rising 928 prices now more accurately reflect this grand tourer’s importance, innovation and ability, but it’s still dirt cheap by classic Porsche standards. Manual-equipped versions of the 4.5-litre V8 are rare, rot is not unknown, despite the use of galvanising and some aluminium panels, and you need the reassurance of a thick wodge of servicing receipts. 

Alfa Romeo Spider S2 Kamm

Slide 14 of 21: Target price: £10-25,000 We’re not doubting the early Duetto boat-tail’s position as prettiest of the set, but does the S2’s slash-cut rear bodywork really justify a price of less than half as much? Yes, the S2 also brings other changes, such as a less sporty windscreen angle, but it also ushered in a strong 132bhp 2000 twin-cam. Just make a mental note to always reverse into your garage and you’ll forget all about the back end.
