Interestingly, because of significant changes in the way we manufacture cars, I'd imagine there will be far fewer classic cars around in 26 years. A car today uses a few very large stamped steel components coupled with intricate plastic pieces. Maintaining a car for significant periods of time is far more of an issue than it was with much simpler cars of the past. When a small component in a modern car fails, you need to replace significantly more of the car with a significantly harder to manufacture piece to get it working again. Perhaps 3D printing will provide us with a way to produce bespoke complicated pieces, but there's a long way for that technology to go before it's usable for steel car components. Essentially, modern cars are considerably more reliable in the short term, but very, very hard to maintain in the long term. Classic cars in 26 years will primarily be very high end or unusual cars today (I can imagine kit cars, Rolls Royces, Ariel Atoms and other largely custom cars sticking around) and cars that we consider classics today. A car that's made it 30, 40 or 50 years today is likely to make it another 50.
