Lotuses never really have increased in value though. Even Elans are pretty cheap considering its a Chapman thoroughbred.
Exactly the point though surely? Good bet I’d say.
Motor power Caterham 21 for me though.
Is that a typo or a firm that I've never heard of?
Probably shouldn’t have a space. Motorpower put little V8s in those things - I prefer the look of the 21 to the 7, but only just. I have no idea whether 25k would get one though.
You could put 15 of it towards this:

and double it in 5 years time. Rarity and provenance though. Only 1 in a world where if you had 1 of the 20 made of other special Penguins you’d think you had hit the jackpot.
Don’t you just look at what demographic is going to be middle aged next. So late 80’s and early 90’s stuff is on fire now, will it be 90’s-00’s next? If so pinnacle* of 90’s motoring price increases has to be e46 m3, 996 (vested interest), calibra, w124 etc

Just when I thought I was out they dragged me back in.

That looks a lovely guitar, who was the original owner then?
It sure is! It was commissioned by a local pro musician. It is a proper custom shop one-off - the only one in existence and no more shall he built as a condition of purchase. It’s just landed from USA - the chap just bought it in to show it off and is generous enough to leave it with us for a while. Even the case is a work of art.

Almost certainly a stupid question but do these sort of things get played or is ownership more to appreciate the workmanship and exclusivity? A bit like most 250GTOs I imagine.
