When does mileage not matter?

Reading comments on BAT (mostly from individuals who never place a serious bid) low mile for the age car - will have issues .. or mileage is high for the MY, got me thinking, when does mileage not matter?.

I understand a low mileage/ super low mileage ( under 20K?) that can be documented brings a premium for a 20+ YO car. But at what MY does it no longer matter?

If a 356 is restored by a big name shop- I never see anyone questioning if it has 100k or 500K+ miles.

A short wheel base "S" car - does it matter if its in great condition/ restored?

A rare car ( 73 Carrera, as an example) ?

2007 -2011 GT3RS- you hear folks barking on mileage, 89-94 speedster same thing - when does the clock start ticking?

So what MY does millage play into the valuation discussion and what is the " magic" mileage number?
