21 September 2015

Thought collecting classic cars was just for millionaires, rappers and drug lords? Motor expert Russell Knight shows that anyone can start investing in future classics if they know where to look without resorting to cutting discs and spitting bars for Kanye.

Here's Russell's picks of the hottest up-and-coming cars that you should be putting your money into.

"Front wheel handling superstar and rare to boot."

Ford Focus RS Mk.1

"A riot in a mile. Old School and brash."


 £25k or less


BMW Z4M Coupe

"Not for the fainthearted. Grab, point and go."

Porsche 996 C4S

"Go anywhere, do anything,  perhaps the prettiest NA (Naturally Aspirated) 911."
