its not going to become a classic on looks (unless a Probe is going to be in your eyes?). its not going to be a classic going on content as like someone else said above, they aren't all that good standard.
they are already in the age range to be considered classic (1988), yet people generally don't know what they are or really care.
how many little kids have pictures on their wall of a standard 200SX and wish they could have one? Escort Cosworth and Lotus Carltons are there instead.
just because there is an owners club for a car doesn't mean it's going to become a classic in the true sense of the word. there are owners clubs for nearly every car in the UK. there is a club for people who drive Volvo S40 1.6's, are they classics too?
i think the S14 and S14a have even less chance than the S13 as they have less character and are always going to be living in the skyline shadow.
just saying how i see it.
