As the saying goes, there are only three certain things in life: death, taxes and classic car values continuing to rise.
We can’t do much about the first two, but as far as the third one goes, we can at least point you in the direction of models that we reckon remain undervalued.
So to that end we’ve selected 20 classics from the 1970s to cover every budget, from a couple of grand right up to more than £100k. We've concentrated more on the sporty side of things, but there should still be something for every taste, and where possible we’ve included direct links to actual examples you can buy in our classifieds. Happy hunting.
1. Lotus Elan +2
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.
