Hi Guys. New boy in town. Been reading the forum for a while now and beginning to feel a bit voyeuristic (is that a word?) so thought I should say hello. It's nice to see how much you all enjoy your cars. I hope to join you soon but currently ACless.[:(] Had Cobra blood in the veins since I made Scalextric models of them at school in late '60s early '70s. It's taken me that long to get enough ££'s together to think about buying one! Got my heart set on a Mk IV, preferably LHD as I want to tour some of Europe.......if anyone knows of one that needs a loving home at reasonable money please let me know. Meanwhile I'll continue to take pleasure in your pleasure and try to resist the temptations of the replicas.
With that in mind, what are your thoughts about putting miles on a Mk IV or any classic for that matter. Will it seriously reduce its value even if well maintained? Most ads put a lot of emphasis on what seems an unreasonably low mileage for a car that is begging to be driven. Perhaps it would be better to buy a replica and run it ragged?
Thanks for reading, going now to put two mince pies out for Santa in case he brings me the present at the top of my letter[:D], have a Merry Christmas.
