I agree, they may keep climbing in the current climate then pullback a touch but they will always command a premium over a regular boxster and even a 911.

Intentionally reviving this thread!

1 year down the line (another year i keep the Zed.. says a lot eh!), 1 more year of cars that might qualify to add to the mix. I now see the defacto 'upgrades' (as in, given the choice, what is the ultimate M replacement) as:

The next step up:
997 C2S
V8 Vantage S
F-Type S

The ~£100k dreamland options:
Cayman GT4 (+cash for some sharkwerks'ing)
AMG GT S
991 GT3
997 GT3
Jaguar F-Type R
Audi R8 V10+
V12 Vantage (S)

Thoughts? I've still got the V12 Vantage pegged as my dream car.

I didn't realise "After the M" existed.........

Probably a C2 997 or a TVR.

Nice choices
I thought about an M4
Or an R8 spyder

But every single time I look and drive mine
It's a no from me to selling it
They're just so pretty and additive to drive when done what I've done to mine

Probably another Mazda Eunos mk1

Corvette C6 for me, but I'm happy with the M and have no reason to change other than that V8.

TBH I am also waiting for the crash but I cant see it happening. These used classics are just going to go up and up. Especially with the new tax rules. I can only see more inflation on manual NAs.

I'm hoping to be meeting with Saint Peter on the day I part company with the ///M. Just as likely to be the other guy though!

Any manual non turbo Ferrari. My mate has a 360 spyder manual which is rocketing in value. The non turbo manuals are very much sought after by the Ferrari purists and are becoming rarer.

I've already 'gone' but never forget these Z4Ms are still awesome machines: rare, reliable, properly fast and damn good looking!

I wouldnt discount a 981 Boxster Spyder if you can get hold of one.

in terms of bond cars ..... why not Vanquish http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/ ... 223861?v=b

Fully agree with Boxster Spyder, price wise you wouldn't lose anything and what an amazing looking car too.
