I agree £45k is crazy and I don't think one has sold for anywhere near that mark - but it makes the List price in 2 years all the more a possibility ... For me, it's the cheap running cost plus the rarity that makes it a stand out car. Arguably the untilmate daily driver, if 2 seats are ok ... almost like the original M3 - not that fast but very rare, light and fun to own and drive with low running costs ✌️️
I am not a fan of the looks, which are way to mainstream but you ant gave it all ... 😂

^ Crazy people pay crazy prices to get hold of things in short supply.

I collect the larger Star Wars Lego sets (including a 5200 piece 3ft x 2ft Millenium Falcon) and do a bit of buying and selling of rare/obsolete sets that people pay well over RRP on once they're gone.

With the opening of the biggest Lego store in the World at Leicester Square last week, there was a very limited "Lester" minifigure (only 275 made, in individually numbered packs) that could be won with qualifying purchases.

This minifigure would be worth £2.50 if it was not limited in supply and was routinely sold over the counter. They're changing hand for £1500-2000 each on ebay right now.  :shocked: :shocked: :shocked:
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....

I've never understood why people collect anything.
My brother spends a fortune buying vinyl records, then proceeds to tell me how much he could sell them for.
Trouble is, in the next breath he tells me how he would never part with them no matter how much he was offered.
Utterly pointless, although I'm sure someone on here will tell me different  :rolleyes:

I think its quite logical ... "Ownership" is at the heart of human nature - taking inanimate objects and somehow giving them "life" is part of building a richness of culture around us and in a way making our lives more enjoyable and rich in colour, as an extension of our personality. A child does it with their frst teddy bear, a teenager with his first leather jacket, an OAP with their prize rose garden! When spending time with that object, it adds to the experiences had with that object therefore making generic life more meaningful, unique and special .... Now you weren't expecting that answer were you 😘

Coming from you, I can't say it was totally unexpected :smiley:

I collect what I collect for me (the UCS Lego sets - the huge and detailed ones)and buy sets to keep untouched that I feel will increase in price significantly in the aftermarket, i've had rare and exclusive Lego freebies before that have not interested me and i've sold them for what I consider to be daft money - earlier this year there was a rare small set that was a miniscale scene of the "space slug" trying to bite at the Millenium Falcon (Asteroid belt pursuit after leaving Hoth in Empire strikes back).

It would've been a £15 set if sold normally, I sold it for £200. Things like that help pay for my hobby, if I buy and sell a few things for a decent profit, what I buy for myself is basically free and will appreciate in value if I decide to get shot later. Couldn't say that about any of my cars owned over the years, they're all money pits.

You're not wrong about cars being money pits.
When I read about people changing perfectly good cars less than a year after taking ownership, it makes me wonder what the world is coming to.

Monkey hanger - your spot on ... some people trade marbles on school breaks, some trade stocks to make a living, some trade in cars, allowing them to drive special cars for what in many cases and as such with the CS-S virtually for free. Whereas some people buy 7 series BMW's and lose round the world cruises in depreciation .... I choose to do both  :smiley:
