HOT FOR 2023
Here are some bitesize tips on other projected risers in 2023…
FORD STREETKA
The StreetKa is a dead cert for future stardom. Ford clearly targeted females at the time but these days, in a brave new world that doesn’t idiotically market cars with such gender-based twaddle, the StreetKa is for everyone who appreciates great design, driving dynamics and joyful ownership. If you can find yourself a good one, you’ll own one of the most fun motors you can get right now for a grand.
MORRIS 8
Values of less exotic people’s cars from the Thirties to the Fifties are on a downward trajectory. Any standard transport from that era will be suffering from a lack of recognition and so, now is the time to make a low offer and bag yourself something fascinating, usable and quaint. My choice, Morris 8 Series E with swoopy deco grille.
AUSTIN ALLEGRO
Often derided back in the Seventies – Quartic steering wheel anyone? – but now back in fashion, the Allegro hits the big 5-0 in 2023. Think of it as a bigger Mini, and it’s a chromey classic that’s fun to drive and capable of being used on a daily basis. Plus, unlike the Mini, you won’t need to stump up a sizeable outlay to buy one of your own. In a world where most modern cars are seemingly black or white, the Allegro owner cuts quite a dash thanks to those Seventies-tastic shades of green, orange and red, too.
