We all love them (otherwise we wouldn't members of the forum) Do you think they will ever be classics like the lotus carlton etc?

[waspy]

Given long enough any car becomes a classic.
As for having the status of the Lotus Carlton, no. The Carlton is a completely different story.

[tunnie]

No, too many made

[Lizzie_Zoom]

Yes, as Pete says, all cars have the potential of becoming classics

I am old enough to remember when Austin 7's, Baby Austins, were being given away and something only fit for the scrapeheap, with me as a 5 year old thinking they were so cute and wanting one when I grew up

Now you are very lucky to own one of those, as with all the other 'popular' cars of the time, each becoming a 'classic' in its own right 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-)

[waspy]

No, too many made

So where exactly does quantity come into the equation?

Indeed Pete

Ford Escort Mk1, Morris Minors, Austin Mini, Ford Cortina's, etc, all made in great quantity, but now treasured as classics by those with 'mint' examples 8-) 8-) 8-)

A classic case of G.W.B.B

When does quantity not come into a classic equation?

Car needs to be rare / not common for it to be considered a classic, or its not a classic is it?

Too many Omegas are around, they are a bland, forgettable saloon saloon to most.

When you've lived a while longer, you'll be able to comment on the past.
There's been many bland & forgettable cars that have become classics. Lizzie's just mentioned only a few

There were 1.3 million Morris Minors produced in the 23 years of it production in various guises. There are less than 11,000 left in the UK and just over 32,000 worldwide. In the 40 years since the last one was produced they have become classics with time and dwindling numbers. This could be the case for any marque if enough of a following (such as us lot here) has built behind it.

It may take a few years but why not?
they are different,

I mean morris marinas are often called classic

Very nice of you to add that extra bit at the end, very relevant.

A forum is about opinions, so why bring insults into it? The Omega won't become a classic, not for decades
