Does Your Favorite Classic Rate as One of the 10 Most Desirable?

As for the Europeans, who could have guessed the Jaguar E-Type (XKE) is at the top?

To a true enthusiast, it isn't much of a surpise that the Jaguar E-Type (XKE) takes top spot on the import list.

Anyone remotely knowledgeable about cars, of course, would put the Jag on the top, while BuyClassicCars.com has Austin Healey's stunning 3000 in second and Mercedes reliable SL in third, a very practical classic. Porsche, VW, Triumph and MG are on the list, with nary a Humber Super Snipe or Peerless in sight. Cars made by Ferrari and Lamborghini are too rare and expensive to make this "most popular" classics list. The Top Ten Most Desired imports are as follows:

1. 1964-1973 Jaguar XKE
2. 1964-1967 Austin Healey 3000 BJ8
3. 1963-1971 Mercedes 230SL & 280SL
4. 1965-1975 Porsche 911
5. 1954-1974 VW Beetle
6. 1950-1957 Jaguar XK120-140
7. 1969-1974 Triumph TR6
8. 1956-1962 MGA
9. 1954-1963 Triumph TR2 & TR3
10. 1950-1955 MG TD & TF

What will be hot next year? We'll have to tune in to BuyClassicCars.com to find out, but rest assured Maserati will not be on top of the imports list or the Edsel on the domestic. Popular classics are popular for a reason, after all.
