Each year Hagerty’s Bull Market list names the collector cars its analysts expect to rise in value, and the Porsche 968 made the cut for 2022. These eight sports cars all appeared on one of those lists, released between December 2021 and January 2026.
Treat every pick as Hagerty’s forecast, not a guarantee. The prices below are Hagerty’s own figures as of each list’s release, and the two British picks are quoted in pounds.
1. 1978–1983 Datsun 280ZX
Hagerty put the 280ZX on its 2025 Bull Market list, released in December 2024. Its reasoning starts with the car’s reputation. Because the ZX grew heavier and less sporty than earlier Z cars, most enthusiasts passed it by.
Now buyers are noticing that it delivers much of the original Z’s appeal for less money, especially with a turbo, Hagerty’s release says. At the time, its excellent-condition value stood at $32,800, up 138 percent since 2019. Even so, Hagerty’s team believed it had room to grow.
2. 1991–1998 Suzuki Cappuccino
Hagerty picked the tiny Suzuki for its 2023 Bull Market list, released in December 2022. The roadster makes 63 hp, but Hagerty’s writers called it “a Miata on a diet” in the turns.
In that release, Hagerty valued excellent examples at $12,200 to $16,700. Its reason for tipping the car to rise was the buyers. Millennial and Gen Z enthusiasts submitted over 80 percent of insurance quotes on it, which Hagerty said “assures there will be a dedicated following.”
3. 2000–2005 Jaguar XKR
Jaguar built the XKR as the supercharged version of the 1997 XK8, during its years under Ford ownership. Hagerty then named it to the 2024 Bull Market list in December 2023.
Excellent cars ran $26,700 to $38,900 at the time, Hagerty reported. It said the XKR was gaining popularity with buyers under 40, and it praised the car’s “reliability and potent performance.” However, it also warned about maintenance considerations.
4. 1997–2002 Plymouth Prowler
Hagerty called the Prowler “a love letter to the hot-rod scene” when it picked the car for its 2024 Bull Market list. Its forecast rests on a change in who wants one.
Members of Gen X, born between 1965 and 1980, are trickling into the Prowler and slowly replacing the boomers it first targeted, the December 2023 release says. Excellent examples then sat at $34,800 to $45,500. That put the Plymouth on the same 10-car list as the XKR and the E92 M3.
5. 2008–2013 BMW M3 (E92)
BMW gave the E92 M3 a 4.0-liter V8, a carbon-fiber roof and an adjustable rear differential. Later M3s, by contrast, moved to turbocharged six-cylinder engines.
Hagerty’s 2024 Bull Market list valued excellent cars at $51,600 to $65,800, with average value up 34 percent, it reported in December 2023. That is not cheap. Still, Hagerty’s case was relative: “enthusiasts priced out of old M3s are flocking to this generation.”
6. 1992–1995 Porsche 968
Hagerty’s 2022 Bull Market list, released in December 2021, described the 968 as the final, most developed step of the Porsche 944 and 924 that came before it. So the 968 sits at the end of a lineage that runs back through the 944 to the 924.
The Porsche 968’s 236-hp, 3.0-liter four and “beautifully balanced handling” earned the praise, Hagerty said. Its hatchback practicality and highway fuel economy also made it “a viable daily driver.” Excellent examples then started at $38,000. Because that figure dates from late 2021, check current values before you shop.
7. Porsche 911 (996) Carrera 2 3.4
Hagerty UK’s 2026 Bull Market list, published in January 2026, gave the 996 Carrera 2 a collectability score of 88.3. That was the highest of any car on the list, even ahead of its Ferrari pick.
A C2 3.4 coupe stood at £17,800, Hagerty UK said, and even an excellent one rarely tops £25,000. In fact, prices had slipped 2.2 percent over five years. Hagerty’s case is value: it called the 996 “excellent value for money compared with any other 911.”
8. 2004–2011 Mercedes-Benz SLK 200 Kompressor
Mercedes-Benz built the R171 SLK between 2004 and 2011, and Hagerty UK picked the 200 Kompressor for its 2026 Bull Market list. So far, its price has not moved.
The car sat at £5,200, with no change over five years, Hagerty UK reported. Yet it posted a 95 percent auction sell-through in 2025, the highest of any car on the 2026 list. Hagerty said the R171 is in a transitional period and called the cars “excellent value,” with even the best examples topping out around £10,000.
