i don't doubt it 
Johnny Saddo could have his own owners club for his NSU
it was more the popularity, number of members, availability of information concerning the cars and so on that i was getting at
the internet has certainly increased membership levels
and it follows that classics are more popular these days

Nova SR or GSI in mint condition. 
MK1 Astra GTE's haven't peaked yet
although it is very difficult to find a good one that hasn't eaten its own front wings or boiled itself to death

that happened with e-types and many other cars that are now worth a packet
take MGA's - easily buyable for under a grand in the eighties
it's current with the XJS and quite a few other cars

In the same vein it might be possible to tap into the "I'm having a mid-life crisis and want to relive my youth" market with these types of cars
Renault 5 Turbo (think most of them went thermo nuclear at the side of the road due to turbo boost, but I still see the odd one knocking about)
Peugeot 205 1.9 GTi (french again, so probably surrendered itself to shite build quality) Mainstream, but at the same time still quite rare in it's day (most were 1.6)
Manta GTE
Audi Quattro (the original)

Most of the cars listed have already been called. Quattros and most Borgwards have appreciated considerably in valuse over the last decade.
You can pick up dinosaurs like W126s and stuff for pennies now; good ones will increase in value, but they must be special.
I'd say one to look out for is the RX-8; soon to depreciate away to nothing, it has huge upside potential over the next decade!
