I agree with Mike that older cars have a lot going for them, except that later cars with supaform wings, galvanised chassis and stainless bulkheads etc, etc are going to last longer before a rebuild is necessary. When I was looking for my Morgan, I did consider older models but cars from the 70s and 80s were only a few thousand cheaper than those in the later 90s and even 2000s. My 2005 Plus 4 from a dealer was only about £5k dearer than some late 70s and 80s cars which came with a much higher mileage. Initially I was going to opt for a new one to get the spec I wanted but found this one with a really high spec for less than two thirds of what it would have cost new.
Whilst I hope it retains its value, that will only be of interest to my kids as I intend to keep it until...... well, forever!
