Markets are based on supply & demand, so there will always be a market, but S&D will determine the prices.
I don't know if it happens yet, but eventually somebody will twig to the idea of shipping wrecks to Asia, and bringing back restored classics. Yes, certain skills will become rarer, and it will become relatively more expensive to have skilled work done. As to what will be desirable, I actually think that's much harder to predict. Two decades ago, you were laughed at if you had a record collection. Now they're re-releasing modern works on Vinyl. People always assume that current trends portend a linear future direction, but they don't. And the irony is that even IF the future is heading pell-mell towards EVs, that will INCREASE the value of classic ICE. But there's a few things that people need to remember:

I wonder if electronics (repair/parts availability) will become a problem with later model local aussies as time goes on. Also there isn't the same volume of sales as in earlier decades to provide used parts; especially for the limited edition examples.

You could possibly argue that fishing, with the related time and expenses is an expensive way to get a feed of fish, but for some, it is not about the feed, it is about the entire experience. I believe that until you have had the entire experience it is difficult to comprehend. The thought of spending hours floating in a tin boat, waiting for a fish, doesn't really do it for me. the thought of driving a classic vehicle (in my case V8) and listening to the sound and experiencing the idiosyncrasies of it all is where the 'fun' comes from. Nevertheless, like fishing is for me, I am sure owning and driving a classic car, is not for everybody. |

Any classic car or motorcycle is only a classic in your head, not ya kids or friends or neighbours, if they like it so what, if they don't like it so what!
It's you it has to please, nobody else, so just sit back and enjoy it! Chilly Beers |

I think if Teslas keep driving out of bounds then the future is secure for those in the body/panel/firefighting industry.
