Default Very Cheap? Is this just a discussion on what is relative?

These cars never were valuable, and they were never what you could call Rolls-Bentley quality. Like other specialist makes, they have nearly gone out of business since their inception. Same for the Aston Martins. I owned three of them, and could not wait to palm them off to some unsuspecting soul. The idea that E-types would rise to ridiculous numbers is another example of more money than sense. Yes, Geoff, I have had six of them. Right now, restoration is running over $100,000 here, so what is the point? I admit to liking old, interesting cars, and have a collection now that some would consider valuable, but I do not, and have watched the market for years, both on American and foreign makes. These things are not investments, and to think that is pure folly.
