Have you got a car you'll never part with?
Discussion
A friend of mine has a late 80's low mile Escort RS Turbo which he has owned for many years and is hardly ever ever used and not even taken to show's ..? Don't know the value, I'm not sure he does exactly but is addament he will never sell it..? But worth a good few quid I'm sure. ? But his daily driver is a 59 reg tatty Focus...?? Don't understand it...??
No.
I think the problem is that my Mustang has retained a lot of its value so is a monetary asset. if it was worth a lot less, I would be inclined to keep it and write off the value more easily.
A friend of mine has a Lotus Eclat that he has owned since 1982-ish and those have a relatively low shelf value so he has no plans to ever sell it.

Yup, I don't plan on selling either of my cars.
I was with my Dad when he bought my Jeep Cherokee when I was 11 years old, then it became my first car at 18. Still my daily driver 6 years later and I couldn't ever part with it.
Our Jeep Grand Wagoneer was my dream car for many years, and the intention is to spend years doing it up whilst keeping it drivable. It's the most valuable age and colour of all Wagoneers, but I want it to become the family vehicle and (with some work) to last us forever.

I did think I'd never part with my 172 Cup. It was low milage, mint condition, and I'd spent a fortune maintaining it. It's last MOT expired a month ago. I hope he/she has just forgotten about it. Unfortunately a period of financial instability meant there was no choice but for it to go. I was gutted, I loved that thing.

My MGF. Objectively it's not a great car, it's the smaller 1.6 for a start. I didn't even pay that much for it. I also have a share in an Mx5. Which is dynamically much better for the track work I tend to end up using the MG for.
But 6 years on, 2 European trips, including the Nurburgring as well as being our wedding car I can't quite see us getting rid of it. To be fair it's not really worth anything to anyone else anyway!
It's currently sat awaiting some more money than its worth being spent on it. Totally worth it though.
