I was thinking why do people buy and run a classic car and tried to think about how that might make a difference when looking for one so I have tried to put down in order what I would look for in two scenarios
List one purely for an investment make and model not important
1/ Low mileage service history original colour and interior looking as it did the day it was made
2/ Low mileage some history all paint and chrome shiny interior good but not original
3/ mileage average to high good usable car all paint chrome and interior good but not original
4/ mileage average to high in need of restoration
List Two wanting to run and use a classic
1/ mileage average to high good usable car all paint chrome and interior good but not original
2/ mileage average to high in need of restoration
3/ Low mileage some history all paint and chrome shiny interior good but not original
4/ Low mileage service history original colour and interior looking as it did the day it was made
MY personal choice would be list two number one as I enjoy using my cars in all weathers sun rain even snow and like a nice clean car but I dont want to worry about mileage or making it dirty
my car is a list two number two
