The Mk4, Mk5 and even Mk6 will all become future classics imo, one day will come where i'll probably pull up in a car park in a crappy little electric car with my gran kids and see an old Mk4 sitting there and i'll say "i used to have one of them! bloody hell i loved my old car, mind i had to put this liquid called petrolium into it all the time, it was very expensive!"

well for sure the cars of today are not built to last like they where when the mk1s and mk2s where built so will they last 20 years or simply fall apart? 

Big fail on that one mate.  20+ years ago most cars rarely made it past 100K without an engine rebuild, almost all rusted like it was going out of fashion.  The built quality for most was sh*t.  Once a car was approaching 80k it was definitely in Jalopy Corner in the classifieds.  With the exceptions of some VWs, Volvos, BMW, etc, even then rust was a killer.

Things started getting better towards the end of the 80s/early 90s with regards to rust proofing and engine longevity.  Most Ford and BL stuff started rusting before the new owners got them home!

Example: How many pre Sierra Ford stuff do you see on the roads these days? and you're lucky to see a Sierra!

I think a lot of people are missing the point here: virtually any car can become a classic simply by being old and there not being many of them left. There is usually a marque specific owners club for most vehicles whatever spec they may be. A lot of "poverty-spec" models are highly sought after by some of the more avid collectors although the more luxurious or sporty models push the prices up.

Saw an absolutely mint Escort Mk3 1.3 GL the other day. Not a mark on it, and I have to say it was really impressive simply because it was different. We all make fun of cars like the Maxi or Allegro, but thanks to the owners' clubs, we can still see the potential of the design or how bad they were in their time.

Ask yourself this question and be honest: When was the last time you saw a VW Santana other than at a show??
