Scimitar ownership - good idea?

They’ve always been on my radar, but never had one. I’ve looked at a lovely, original, well cared for car, with very few owners & a huge file of paperwork. Hard to believe it’s nearly 50 years old & is lovely to drive.
Have never worked out why they’re not more popular, as they seem to offer a lot, for not crazy money.
The Scimitar section on P/H seems dead, so thought I’d ask here if anyone has one, has had one & if they’re as good an ownership proposition as they appear to be.
Cheers

Quick update - despite a few negative remarks, I’ve ignored those & paid a deposit.
Part of the deal includes a new clutch being fitted, along with getting an MOT done.
Looking forward to owning a GTE. Cheers

Thanks very much Rob (& others).
Being ignorant, why do they get micro blisters on the bodywork? How can it be prevented - lots of polish??

I now have the GTE, though with going away last week, haven’t done many miles. I’m taking it back to the garage, as it’s misfiring off & on. Hopefully just a set of leads, as timing gear has been replaced & plugs 18 months ago. Really enjoy driving it & does sound good. A few pictures -
