While the marketplace determines the monetary value of everything, even Morgans..(-: I suspect it is each of us who determine that which a Morgan (and much else) is worth to us, and I suspect some part of that equation is assessed in terms of our emotional involvement..?
Of course an objects monetary value seems ever to be part of an assessment of it`s imagined worth, perhaps more so if that object`s acquisition was justified by it`s value as an investment, either to one`s self or significant others, then there may be a balancing act in play as it`s perceived market value alters relative to our current emotional entanglement with it..creating a perpetual see-saw each time we care to assess and re-assess those two values..?
I bought my Morgan circa 20 years ago as a nut and bolt rebuild of a barn find mid 80`s +8. Had I bought a mid 80`s 911, I suspect in terms of investment value alone, as ever, the Performance of the Porsche would have exceeded that of my Morgan..(-:
Emotional involvement... ? My Morgan is to me a work of automotive art, and that it was handcrafted in wood and aluminium using skills handed down from generation to generation adds to my emotional involvement with my Morgan, all of which no doubt reads like an advert for the marque, but is in fact very much a part of that which I bought into when I evaluated the cost of purchase.
Added to the above, the sense of adventure the old Mog provided on our Southern European jaunts over a few years and I suspect the emotional involvement may have increased by some degree.
As I have typed more than once, everything is relative.. (-: This chap also seems to have become a tad emotional about his cars over the years regardless of their actual monetary value..?
