According to new research from Britannia Rescue, the Honda Civic 2001-2003 model tops the list of older cars once considered geeky that are now desirable to car insurance customers aged below 40.
In fact, 45% of classic car dealers have reported renewed interest in these formerly nerdy motors over the past twelve months, while 13% of used car dealers have sold a Honda Civic in the past year.
According to the breakdown cover provider, other cars that were previously considered geeky but are now sought-after include the Vauxhall Cavalier, Austin Mini Countryman and Citroen 2CV.
Peter Horton, Britannia Rescue managing director, said: Its great to see how cars that were once the geeks of the showroom have become desirable and are popular amongst trendsetters again.
Geek chic cars are seen as more stylish than modern cars and usually benefit from cheaper road tax.
Older cars can also be easier to maintain than modern cars as they tend to be simpler under the bonnet but as with any car, drivers should service them regularly and invest in road rescue cover to protect them in the event of a breakdown.

“Nonrenewing policies is a difficult decision, but necessary in order for Allstate to remain financially strong for Arkansas consumers,” Allison Hatcher, a spokeswoman for the company’s Southern region, said in an email.
Hatcher said policyholders in the Natural State will be able to renew their homeowner coverage—and possibly take advantage of discounts for multiple policies—if they elect to also buy Arkansas auto insurance through Allstate. For those who d
