There are a few owned by enthusiasts now who will keep them going. A lot more than a 51 Mondeo or Vectra
Jon, we will have to get them both together...

Gary, nowt wrong with that, yours does look nice. I myself was a complete boy-racer in my day, I still have that itch when I see a 6th Gen Celica.

I think for any of our cars to appreciate in value with so few left need to be kept original as possible, its the same scenario when it comes to selling. All those little personalised mods ones does can pose a potential problem and alienate a lot of buyers, I suppose it all depends what mods we are talking about, its a slippery slope.
