What, no FF?

I was dismayed not to find mention of the Jensen Intercepto­r or even the FF in the CC Investment Guide 2021. Agreed the Intercepto­r was a slow starter but values have really gone up for quality cars and it’s a prime candidate for growth. I have an exprincess Anne SP in excellent condition.

Fear not. I’m a great

Intercepto­r fan and have owned several over the years and loved them very much. We didn’t include the Intercepto­r or FF in this year’s guide because we think, at the moment, they’ve peaked in value. Prices are beginning to soften here in the UK (not so much FFS) and you can now buy a really good Intercepto­r for £50k – sometimes less. We’re going to keep a watching brief on values and if we think they’re due a renaissanc­e, we’ll let everybody know. Quentin Willson

The future for my Renaultspo­rt Clio

I own a 2012 Renaultspo­rt Clio. It’s immaculate and has only covered 23,000 miles, with full service history, but the tax is expensive and I’m frightened to park it anywhere in case it gets damaged or vandalised. Do you think it’ll ever become a future classic?

Andrew Carman

Your Clio is already a neo-classic. Over the last couple of years we’ve seen values of performanc­e moderns like yours rise in value and desirabili­ty. Selling it now with such a low mileage and full history means you’ll be selling something very hot at the peak of the market. I’d get it advertised now before things slow down in the last quarter of the year. Quentin Willson

What price for my Hyundai?

Please can you give me an estimate of what I should sell our Hyundai Coupé 2.0 SE for with just 17k miles, in exceptiona­l condition. We bought it in 2005 at 2671 miles; it’s been off the road since September 2020.

Mike Lane

Your Hyundai must be one of the lowest mileage examples in the country. It’s also in best-selling silver with just two owners. I’d value this at £5000£7000 on the basis that you could spend years looking and never find such a perfect, unmolested example. Quentin Willson
