Bought my 3 year old +8 in 1983 for £6,500. Driven it 250k miles in the last 36 years. Bought to enjoy and boy have I had some fun with it, not as a financial investment. I had a low mileage secondhand 911 (964) bought for £25k in 1997 sold 4 years later having added 50k miles for £19,500. Guess I couldn't buy it back for less than £45k now. And don't ask me about the very early Nov 1953 TR2 with all the Lawrencetune parts I bought for £250 in 1975.
