WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

PRICE WATCH

Alhough on the younger end of the ‘modern classic’ bracket, the Intergra Type R has benefitted from the boom in that market in the past few years. Essentially, good cars are becoming scarcer with age and use, while demand is increasing as the car changes status from just being ‘old ‘ to ‘retro’. There’s little to separate values beyond condition, though UK cars fetch a slight premium over those that have been imported. Originality does count for a lot these days, however, with significantly modified cars being worth considerably less than stock machines.
