Seventies and eighties classics on the rise
09/28/2015
Until now, it has always been the case that new generations of classic car owners and collectors have primarily bought vehicles that they admired in their youth or that were already of interest at the time. The question is whether this "regularity" will continue in the future. Will future generations of classic car buyers also discover "newer" cars as classics?
In a" question of the week" on this topic, Zwischengas asked readers to guess and predict the future. But which era did the respondents identify as the one that would be particularly "en vogue" in ten years' time?
The seventies (29%) emerged as the narrow winner, closely followed by the sixties (28%), which, according to the answers, would obviously hold up very well.
The eighties came in third place with 21%.
Only 4% could imagine that cars from the nineties would be among the most sought-after classics in ten years' time.
Pre-war vehicles naturally had no chance at all in this survey, with only 4% saying they would.
Of course, it's difficult to ignore one's own preferences when imagining the future, which certainly explains the high proportion of responses from the sixties. Nevertheless, we were surprised to see that the seventies would be the most promising era in ten years' time, a vote for the Lotus Esprit, Ferrari 308, VW Golf GTI or Renault Alpine A310.
For the sake of completeness, here are the complete results.
And of course we have already asked the next question , this week we want to know whether time measurements with hoses and light barriers really make classic car rallies more attractive.
All previous questions of the week and their answers can be found in the "Question of the week" topic channel .
