Collectable Cars
The thing about collectable cars is that whilst they are no doubt invaluable to many car enthusiasts, the fact that in most cases they cannot be driven (not road worthy) in a way kind of contradicts their purpose! Don’t get me wrong I can certainly see the attraction of having an old 1900 car that will be used as an ornament in someone’s garage for example but if you cannot drive it then surely it is a waste of an attraction? I’m sure there are some of you out there now that are reading this and thinking “what is he going on about, h hasn’t got a clue”. And for that all I can say is that I do understand – but collectable cars for me, are just, well not for me! If I had the money to purchase such cars then, given my way of life, I would spend it on a vehicle of the modern era because they probably cost the same. In fact the op level cars of today more than likely cost less than some of the ancient collectables. Also, I am someone that is paranoid about buying used cars as it is so god knows what I would be like with something that is older than me! Ok, let me put it like this – if I had extornionate amounts of money I may, just may buy a used Jaguar XJ220 – not quite a collectable car but one that, in its heyday was one of my favourite all time cars. Then again, an old Ford Mustang might creep its way into my garage also if I was engaging in a buying spree. Am I suddenly starting to change my mind? Hmm not really guys – I would just much rather buy a brand spanking new 3 litre Audi or BMW. In fact, with the money that I would have for collectable cars – I could even reach out to the Austin Martin of Lamborghini models!
