Tried finding this on ebay but no joy, sounds interesting.
Found it via newsnow.co.uk. Suspect the listing was removed as seller gave contact details in the ad. Also had some poor feedback.

Happy New Year all. Anybody care to venture an opinion o the future of DB7s? Current market over here is AUS is V12 commanding a premium as do FHCs, with 4.3 V8s and cheap DB9s now entering the same market price segment. Fast forward 10 years and DB7s will be 30 but still just as pretty. Will the Jag underpinnnings still matter I wonder.

DB7, V8V and DB9 are attractive cars with great character, surely a future collectible and current bargain.
To be enjoyed and not mothballed though!

How about me selling a 993 manual for £10k in 2011??

That really was rock bottom. I bought my last 993 for £12k (matched a trade bid) in 2012 then sold it with over 200k miles on it for £32k 4 years later! Just like the gamblers, the wins fall far short of the losses but I was lucky on this one. I had a 50k mile 930 turbo before that and sold it for £16.5k. Some you win, most you lose....
I’m becoming increasingly sanguine about the 2030 ban on new I.C.E. sales. There will still be enthusiasts like us around to prop up the secondhand market for anything interesting, aesthetically or from a sporting or engineering point of view. Anything with character, soul and passion. And biofuels will be available to go some way to salving our eco consciences.
I think the Fiat and Abarth 124 Spiders may well be a good bet in the medium to long terms. I have one of the latter in an aerochamber in my garage at the moment, just waiting for the seasonal disappearance of salt from our roads and the return of the sun. Oh, and the disappearance of COVID!

I think some will be blown away when they drive a Maserati or TVR or Lotus or anything old school analogue if they have never done so. We know, as many of us grew up on this stuff. Many youngsters don't and might get a pleasant surprise when they feel and hear the difference from their non descript US/Chinese/Euro EV's to an old school V8. Whether they can afford it or not will remain to be seen!

I may well be interested, how many miles? Condition? History?

looks like the seller ended the listing early on ebay, might have done a deal with someone possibly, i was bidding on a real nice 1.9 205 GTI and got outbid in the dying seconds which hacked me off, im sure some folk still use those sniping tools, that's just not cricket, effing bar stewards

You could do worse than buy up a selection of busso engined Alfa’s at current prices and hide them away for 10 years.
Well, maybe not hide them away because they like being used, but you get my drift.

My aim is generally buy at bottom of depreciation curve. Keep car for 4 - 5 yrs and sell for same price as I bought it for.
Managed it on these
Calibra SE8
Alfa GTV V6 3.0
Toyota MR2 mk2
Nissan 350z
Have a feeling an Alfa 4C at £35k is likely to rise. Rare, Carbon tub, small displacement engine, aged well and now production has stopped. Fairly sure these will appreciate.

I'm not convinced with the 4C. It was a nice enough thing, but I only knew a handful of people who had one, the majority seemed to be constantly for sale.

The 4C was overhyped before it came out. I suppose it was never going to live up to the expectation, and in true Alfa style (guilia aside) it took the aftermarket to sort the suspension!
A great looking, exotic and rare toy though.
If people are prepared to pay 50k for a Clio V6, which apparently they are, a car also panned when new for its handing, then a 4C is going to be worth 100k in 15-20 years in comparison!

They’ve quietly shot up in value recently. The very best GT models are £50k plus. I think the best V12 manuals are a good bet, but the other boxes should appreciate too.
As for the i6 cars... hmm
