I was hopping it would be a bit of enthusiast car to help on not so much depreciation.
The trouble with enthusiast cars is the enthusiasts themselves.
Enthusiasts generally want their cars (if bought second hand) very low miles, thousands worth of extras (which they’ll rarely want to pay much more for the privilege of getting) and paintwork that looks like it’s never been out in the rain.
A two year old enthusiast car with 90k and more than a few stonechips isn't going to set car nerd pulses racing. Still, if you’re doing 45k a year it’s much nicer to do it in something that sets your own pulse racing!
Keep the receipts from all your servicing and repairs including tyre purchases, brakes replaced etc and therein lies the best service history you can have.
