Classic cars as investments?

Daytonas in Headingley.
Me in Harehills, where the riots were.
You could argue near is poetic licence but I've walked a fair bit further after a night on the piss.

Harehills was ok, loads of student nurses used to live there.

Was the Headingley mile pub crawl a thing when you were there

Late FX4 shaped hacks have got to be worth stashing away for a decade. As they're all over 25 years old now they can be exported to the US.

I seem to remember that it was but it was a student thing.
We had our own pub crawls that avoided them.

As lovely as this is, I find it hard to believe there are many people in this world prepared to pay £65k for this. Even if right now, will there be in 10 to 20 years time?

I've just asked a couple of mates similar age to me who have a distinct interest in cars and they have no idea what it was. Tbh I only barely new it was a Jensen myself and no idea on the model.

I find it hard to believe there are people spending that sort of money on Chinese Volvos with a three pin plug but there you go.....

And neither would I spend 65K on a plastic sports coupe with a lorry engine but what people ask for cars and what they get are often vastly different.

[SiC]

True but that Volvo has a very large marketing machine behind it to convince people they need it.

[paulplom]

People spend more than that on a shitty mk2 escort.

[SiC]

But they have a much wider market appeal and far better known. Demand for them is high.

A friend of my Dad's swapped (I use the term loosely there was probably money involved) a 541R for a Mk2 Zephyr in order to tow his caravan. Although both cars were frankly piles of shit I should imagine the Zephyr eventually gave him the better return for reasons you cite in the Escort example.

Plus the Zephyr made an infinitely better oval car.....
