Exactly that Julian, people need to readjust to today I think.
I have said it before that when I buy a toy I amortize it over a three year period as enjoyment/hobby and it's money well spent, any worth the vehicle has after that is regarded as a bonus is my view of it but reading some of the above the older brigade appear to view a Morgan as an investment
Absolutely right. A car (or anything) is only worth what people are prepared to pay for it, not what the owner believes it is worth.
Getting the return on one's investment in the form of enjoying the ownership is exactly the right way to go, and amortising over a period is a splendid idea, you can't really enjoy a car if it owes you money as you're always thinking of the resale vale.
