However, I would never buy it. You are going to be a caretaker. It can't be realistically driven in Portland 6-8 months of the year. Been a caretaker, never again. If that works for you, power to you.
First time and only time a driver hits you because they were texting? Bumper height on most vehicles is about eye level in that car.
I do love the idea of the car, and that is an awesome example, but the risk and love that car requires isn't for me.

That is the question for me. I wouldn’t drive this even semi-regularly. It would probably live on my lift, get tinkered with and polished up, and be autocrossed during the summer, do a couple of fun drives a year, that’s about all. Maybe 200 miles a year? I will have to be disciplined on not tarting it up, as I’d want to be able to sell in on in a couple years and not lose money. If I can have the experience, scratch the itch, for just insurance premium money, that makes some sense.
