Future classics ( in my mind) part I

Now it's time for me to write about something that I have been wanting to talk about for some time now. It's the topic of cars that are going to be future classics.

I'm not going to list obvious future classics like the Alfa Romeo 8C or other exotic cars like Mercedes Benz SLR. I'm going to list cars that are special, have stopped depreciating and cars you can buy today for a relatively small amount of money.

At first a car that has been overshadowed by cars from the same manufacturer: The Ford Mondeo ST200.
It has a 2.5 litre Duratec engine developing 205 horsepower. The V6 takes the car from 0-100 kph in 7.7 seconds. Those numbers don't seem so impressive but we have to keep in mind that not all legends are fire breathing monsters. The ST200 was made only two years (1999-2000) so it's still a fairly modern car which means that there are good ones around. The ST200 was given a colour which would make it differ from other Mondeo's, Imperial Blue. A white colour was also featured but only for police cars. So if you find a white one it's definitely the one to go for. Also, Recaro seats came as standard but the full leather seats were an optional extra. So a white Ford Mondeo ST200 with complete leather seats is the most rare ST200. But to be honest every ST200 in good nick will do nicely.

You can get it as an estate aswell.

If you don't have a dog you can get a liftback or a saloon.

In the cabin there is air-con, leather and blue dials.
