not sure if motorsport history is a definate reason for a car to be collectable...
certainly part of the culture...
But aren't cars still part of our culture now??
ie: the kids that dreamed about buying a 70's GT/GTS are now in their 30's/40s/50s...
the kids that wanted to buy a HSV Clubsport or a GT-P etc will be in their 30s/40s/50s in the future... and not all of these cars are gonna be around... some will fade away and be scrapped/crashed/destroyed... same as the GT's and GTS's...
So there is a good chance that in the future, there will continue to be a car culture, and there will be kids dreaming of FG GT's and their 'famous' panda eyes...
Question is, what will the world be like then?? Fuel costs?? Road Laws?? Car Culture?? how it will all work is a mystery...
20 years ago you wouldn't have guessed that the world would be as it is today... and can assure you 100%, we (someone) will be having this same conversation 20 years from now...
