One of YouTube's most recognised used car dealers has shared three future classics that are great fun to drive and set to rise in value as they age.
Matt Goodwin runs the YouTube channel High Peak Autos, creating videos in which he shares the latest purchases for his used car dealership and recommending reliable models for viewers to buy.
In a recent video, Matt discusses affordable future classics that owners are unlikely to lose money on, stating that the Peugeot 406 Coupe is relatively rare but is still affordable and looks very attractive.
He explained: "Let's take a look at this one, for example. It does look, at a quick glance, a bit Ferrari-ish, and that's all thanks to Pininfarina. It's a beautiful-looking coupe that, I mean look at those rear pillars. It's genuinely a stylish thing.
"You get nice, plush leather seats, there's room for four people, and to top it all off, they're cheap to buy and cheap to maintain. This one is a 2001 on a 51 plate, it's a 2.0-litre petrol SE Coupe. It's a manual in Ferrari red, and it's only £2,995, and that's an awful lot of car for the money."

Based on the standard 406 range of saloons and estates, the Peugeot 406 Coupe was a much sleeker two-door model built between 1997 and 2003.
Styled by Pininfarina, the Italian design house behind iconic supercars such as the Ferrari Testarossa and Lancia Montecarlo, the most powerful 3.0-litre V6 engine fitted to the 406 Coupe allowed for a 0-62mph in 7.9 seconds and reaching a top speed of 146mph.
Since they were never a particularly popular model when they were new, examples of the Peugeot 406 Coupe today are quite rare.
Nevertheless, used car buyers can buy a high-mileage example from around £1,000, with clean examples typically retailing for around £3,000.

Matt also recommended that used car buyers looking for a retro model that has plenty of room for their family should consider the P38-era Range Rover from the 1990s.
He added: "You'll think I've lost the plot here but bear with me. It's a Range Rover, specifically the 1994 to 2002 model, known as the P38. Now, prices are already on the rise but, if you act quick, you can still get a bit of a bargain.
"There are still a lot out there so you should be able to pick up quite a decent one. They were available with a 2.5-litre diesel from BMW, which is quite reliable but very slow, or a 4.0-litre [petrol] from Rover, or a 4.6-litre V8.
"Your best bet really is the 4.0-litre as the 4.6 can have issues. That being said, this is a late 4.6 that uses a Bosch electrical system which is a bit more reliable."

Finally, the car dealer suggested that drivers looking for a performance model that already has classic status choose a Porsche 944, stating that they are surprisingly cheap.
He continued: "Look at the price of these, they start at £2,500 and that is for a proper 80s classic. I love the pop-up headlamps and just the overall design. So, this one, for example, is £7,495. It was recently recommissioned, it's a 1986 on a C-reg, it's done 137,000 miles and it's finished in white, which is quite a good colour for the 944.
"Ah, that one is a Cat C [a vehicle involved in a collision], but I don't think that would bother me on this kind of car. I'd rather have one that was recommissioned that's a Cat C as opposed to a ropey example that hasn't been involved in an accident. That looks really nice, actually."
