For today's challenge it's something blue and generally desirable.
Can you name it from this bit of wing?

Time for today's challenge. Today you get two photos to work with. They didn't built a lot of these but they are distinctive.!
It's quite new but definitely a collectable future classic.

A bit of follow up:
In 2005 there about 25k Mondeo Ghia X on the road, today there about 2500, of which about half are in use or at least taxed for road use.
So good to see this one still in good condition and regular use.
I expect it is only a matter of time before these showing up at classic cars, certainly the Festival of the Unexceptional would be a natural starting point!

The answer to the outstanding challenge... Well as a number of you folks correctly identified it is a Honda S2000.
A car I think still looks very modern despite being out production for 14 years.
It's tricky handling in the wet means that a fair number have ended up in the great scrapyard in the sky. Possibly helping secure it's future classic status.
Thanks to everyone who had a guess.

Time for another challenge.
As I think is apparent this a comparatively modern car but very a future classic.
Distinctive, sought after and a handful in the wet, so I am told.

For UK based and others with an interest in disappearing cars, a quick trip through 40 cars that are largely gone from the roads. In some cases cars that sold big numbers back in the day.

I have considered doing a called "Rarer than a Ferrari" to talk about cars like this.
autocar.co.uk/slideshow/big-se
So I thought I would try to gauge interest in the idea of a podcast about once common cars, that are vanishing.

The answer to yesterdays challenge... Well as many of you worked out it is a third generation (W30) MR2.
The one where a reviewer once suggested that Toyota had got so carried away they forgot to include a boot /trunk!
This slight rough looking one was being worked on at a local garage, so still in use.
It's not a car I have driven but it looks good and will I suspect be a future classic.
Well done if you got it.

For today's challenge we another sporty model from a typically fairly staid manufacturer. It's another one that should be a future classic.
Can you name it from this image of a vent?

After yesterday's exotica today's challenge is something altogether more humble but still a rewarding drivers car. Can you name it from this image? If it helps it's another cat I worked on the launch of! I think it is a great future classic!

Apologies for the delay in service with the answer to this challenge.

As many of you worked out it was a Lotus.
It was not an Elise but the unhinged track focused Exige 410 Sport, pictured in a car park at a hospital so some ways away from a track!
Well done if you got it!

Today's is very different to yesterdays car, but they do now have something in common.
Can you name this car form just this rear corner?

For today's somewhat delayed challenge for something less sophisticated than yesterday's Stinger.
Can you idea identify this hooligan* tool from this image?
*This might be a UK centric view of this car and this version in particular.

The answer to yesterdays challenge was the throughly modern Kia Stinger GTS. It's an impressively stylish car so might make the cut to be a future classic. Obviously with 4 doors plus a hatch there will be some debate of it qualifies as coupe!
Well done if you got it!

As ever can you name it from this image?

The answer to yesterdays challenge was fairly straightforward, it was a Honda Civic.
If course not just any old Civic but the performance version the Honda Civic Type R, complete with understated rear spoiler.
The earlier generations are already sought after so it seems likely to be a future classic.
Well done if you recognised it.

Time for today's challenge.

It's a bit of a rear light for today's well regarded and very likely future classic that already has something of a cult appeal.

The answer to yesterdays slightly niche challenge was a Chryster Ypsilon.
This is essentially a Lancia Ypsilon for countries not cool enough to have the Lancia brand available any more.

It's relative rarity might secure it future classic car status if nothing else! It was UK and Ireland only and wasn't a big seller before Chryster disappeared, again.

Went to London today, sadly didn't see anything interesting so here's a not very interesting car for today's challenge.
Can you name it from this chunk of grille?
Not sure this will ever be classic even if it is rare in this guide.
