Three cars to become 'incredibly valuable' in future - including popular Ford

Three cars are predicted to become highly sought-after collectables, with a favourite Ford leading the way. Used car expert Jonny Brighton from the smash-hit series CarsWithJB has earned his stripes for dishing out top-notch advice on budget-friendly yet exhilarating motors.

He's got his sights set on the Ford Focus RS, hinting at its potential for a value surge driven by popular demand. Jonny said: "Classic fast Fords, particularly ones that are more attainable for your everyday person, end up being pretty pricey later on in life."

His reasoning is clear-cut, saying: "People who lusted after them when they were younger start buying the best ones when they are older." A auction result backs his claim, with Jonny pointing out: "In 2023, a Sierra Cosworth RS500 sold for almost £600,000 at auction, which is a testament to this."

Reflecting on past patterns, he said: "Look at the price of Escort Cosworths and the old Mk1 and Mk2 Escorts, they are all the same story." But it's not just Ford that's catching his eye; Jonny is also flagging the Subaru Impreza and BMW M5 as ones to watch, reports .

Jonny added: "The earlier models were found with the two-litre turbocharged boxer-four engine that produces 261bhp, taking it to 60mph in 5.3 seconds... and the exhaust note is one of the most iconic in the entire automotive .

"When I started making YouTube videos a bit over five years ago, you could very easily get yourself into a BMW E60 M5 for well under £10,000.

"They had reached the bottom of their depreciation curve and people just weren't that interested in them, especially when the newer M5s were more modern-looking, faster, more capable, more comfortable and more usable.

"But I never really understood this - the E60 M5 has one of the most ludicrous engines in the history of the BMW brand with an incredibly iconic sound. How could it be overlooked as a cheap, depreciating saloon that nobody cares about?"
