I have lost count of the number of years I have been predicting that as we baby boomers loose our grip on the perch, the machines that our cohort determine to be classics will loose their value. OK, OK so I ever plan for the worst while hoping for the best, but given the long running TV series Bangers and Cash seems to exhibit just about every variation in the many reasons baby boomers their partners or offspring are trying to cash in their memorabilia and machines classics.... Fortunately I am not at the stage I need to sell mine, though never say never...?
Just thought to add last night, after a very and unusually dry day, I took a quick run out in both my 991 and Morgan, only a few miles covered but enough to get their engines up to normal running temps and wwith a bit of dual carriageway involved a few miles at 70 is ever achieved. I have my cars taxed and MOT`d all year round, to enable me to engage in these runs on dry fays when there has been no salt spread, or id salt has been spread i wait till the rain washes it away followed by a dry ish day.... That way it kind provides a bit of exercise to all systems, as opposed to them perhaps seizing up to any extent, and in the case of the 991, I also get a little concerned that it`s multitude of complex systems might just not wake up if allowed to slumber too long...!!!
Just thought to add, that on my drive last night the time spent in the old Mog was the favourite.... I can well understand those who have sold their Morgans and may now suffer a degree of sellers remorse.... Even if you don`t drive it or ride a machine, it can provide a sense of inner well being as garage art on a variety of levels....
