I drove this today - would it make a good promo car?

I’d love to get a second opinion on whether this is worth the money. It’d be my first ever classic car.

I’m an unusual buyer in that I have only one purpose for the car: I’d like to put my company logo on it, in order to catch the eye of my customers, who live in central London. I’ll drive it for 1-2 miles a day in London, maybe more at weekends. Because of what I want it for, I guess I only care about three things:

1) the way it looks (the 3000M looks good to me)

2) buying at roughly the right price, more or less

3) being able to re-sell it for roughly what I paid for it - and that’s the bit I’m not sure about.

I actually drove this 3000M today and it seemed OK, as did the dealer, though I’m no expert. There was a tiny bit of blue smoke on the overrun, but not big clouds. We only drove it for about ten minutes.

Any thoughts much appreciated.

Thank Andrew and Philpott for your replies. I reckon you're both right.I think I was probably doing the old man-maths trick of asking for advice but secretly wanting affirmation!

But I ought to make more mention about the dealer, Amos at AC Roney, as in my original post I described him as "OK", when in fact he was better than merely OK. He went out his way to accommodate me and didn't give me any hard sell. He's someone I'd buy off in future, even if this car probably isn't the right one for me, so I ought to give him his due here.
