I didn't buy mine to make money out of it. I bought it because it came up for sale and I'd always wanted one.
I knew that because so few had been produced there would be a slow accumulation in value as long as I maintained it properly and only used people in the know. The increase of prices over the past few years has only really happened as a direct result of "run what you brung" track days and the subsequent right-offs that occured.
I genuinely own my dream car. Other than a gullwing Merc (original - not that recent cack re-interpretation), I own the only car I've ever really wanted.
