I loved our car the moment I saw it, and love it more after each modification. Had it nearly six years and don't expect to sell it until I can't get in it anymore (being an OAP). If you buy one of these just to keep it for a few years and move on to something else you will likely take a hit. I will never get back the money for the modifications undertaken, and never expected to, but the joy of this expensive hobby comes at a cost that I am willing to pay.
The enjoyment I get from just going for a drive in this car is difficult to express in monetary terms. 😊
