Footman James specialist classic car insurance broker have conducted a survey on what will be the classic cars of the future. Seven percent of classic vehicle owners predicted that the Mazda MX-5 was the vehicle most likely to be a classic icon in 50 years time. This was followed by the Bugatti Veyron with five percent, although it was probably a classic the day it was released. Four percent elected for the Audi TT.
Other vehicles selected with 3percent each were the Aston Martin DB9, Fiat 500, Audi R8, Lotus Elise and Jaguar XKR, XF and XK. The survey was taken by questioning 3,500 classic car owners last November and included visitors to the Footman James Classic Motor Show.
Andy Fairchild, Footman James’ managing director, said: “2012 marks the 50th anniversary of many classic icons including: the Lotus Elan, MGB and Renault 5. It is fascinating to obtain an insight into what classic vehicle owners deem to be the classics of the future. With regards to which ones can claim iconic status in 50 years time – I guess we will just have to wait and see!”
