In Reply to: Hemmings Motor News Top Ten Overlooked Classics! posted by jdb on January 14, 2001 at 18:28:21:
I think Hemmings is reaching a bit here.....
It will be MANY years before a MG midget or AH sprite is really worth anything..... Even concourse Mark I "bugeyes' hardly break the $10K mark when they go up for sale right now (even though it costs you MORE than that to restore one).
Same with Triumph Spitfires....
As for the rest. I simply can't picture myself (or any other car collector) really wanting a Buick Regal T top. Now give me a Grand National and I'd head to the drag strip.....
As for the 2002.... I wouldn't expect them to jump up in value anytime soon just because of this little list.
