TOYOTA GR86

If some of the hallmarks of a future classic car are that it is adored by enthusiasts so much that it's hard to get hold of one, and that it retains its value terrifically well, then the GR86 is virtually a confirmed classic straight out of the box.

This is the kind of car that volume car makers don't manufacture any more, for reasons including that their individual platforms are expensive to develop and sales numbers will, inevitably, be low, on account of most people not wanting 2+2 rear-wheel-drive coupés these days. More fool them.

Both of those things apply to the Toyota GR86 - and to the Subaru BRZ, which, as with the GT86/BRZ generation before them, shares its architecture. But the fact that you can't buy a BRZ in the UK this time around shows you how few people bought those relative to the Toyota.
