XJS prices are starting to head northwards. I've seen properly restored examples/nice examples go for £25K+. Rare ones (e.g. 3.6 Manual Cabrio) will soon be fetching 'collectors' money.
I do note that BMW E39 M5's are going for £50K+

AND it's a Vauxhall Cavalier, a car that in any time was sheet.

FTFY

having enjoyed owning one

Then an Astra Bellend

It's the run of the mill stuff that becomes super rare. They made over 350,000 E series Vauxhalls between 1951-1957. There are less than 50 left (mainly rusted away).

(I learnt to drive in a '56 E series Velox)

You can pickup a Vauxhall Calibra V6 for peanuts.

You might laugh but look at the price of a Cavalier.

Vaguely like this?

[Yorkie62]

You mean two of these (although at least one of yours has wire wheels):

Yes and yes one does in fact have chromed wire wheels. Can't beat a car that was developed to race at LeMans in '64 and '65

[LondonManc]

Austin Healeys have rocketed in price recently, especially the Healey 3000, which IMHO is better looking than the generally swooned over E-Type Jag.

[WTFH]

I have 2 of these straight 6 beauties

You'll need to put the picture on the internet - you can't load photos on here off local drives.

My dad used to have one of these

Nice.

I used to have a Cosworth Sapphire 4x4 when it was a couple of years old. Great cars. I thought I was doing well when I sold it for what I paid for it but the prices today are getting silly.

Should have got a Cayman S. HTHBIDI

I went from a 350z to a Cayman S and must admit as good as it is I still miss my 350. I'll look at a 370z instead of a Cayman at the lights.
