Among the other sought-after cars are the Citroen XM, the Subaru Impreza and original Fiat Pandas - none of which were particularly remarkable in their own right.

Karl Fasulo, director of KGF Classic Cars, told the Star: "Originality is crucial.

"Low mileages and few owners will always be more desirable, and sportier variants are the most appealing.

“Early Audi TTs and Ford Pumas, too, will undoubtedly become real classics in a few years’ time.”
