The all important phrase.
One of the falicies of investing in things like cars, watches, etc. is the notion that you can use them. In reality using them massively increases the risk of damage and huge loss (as well as depreciating them). A colleague has one of the few (8 apparently) UK RHD manual V12 Vantages sitting SORN in his garage because it keeps going up in value and right now he can't afford to risk the loss driving it could cause.
In fairness to the 996 GT2/3's have always been a bit more special and were sold in lower numbers. My gut says 2010 would have been the wrong point to sell that sort of car being both so close to the crash and making it a bit too old, but not yet old enough.
