Conservatory Or Car ?

Ouch, no no no! Old 911? Nah, too hairdresser, too much looks like 'tried but failed'.

You're not going to drive it too far. Think conservatory: it's just to stand about and look pretty. Turn the engine over and get the oil flowing with a run to Church and back on a Sunday morning*. Then wash and wax it. It really is good for you to do such to something exotic on a Sunday after lunch.


* The gear box on one these is a bit of a bugger on a cold morning. The rest though is actually pretty good and reliable actually, and what with a tame mechanic, really not as expensive as you'd think.

So you're saying its better to buy something that looks nice (but isn't really fit for purpose) over a well engineered bit of kit that still does exactly what it's supposed to even though it's nearly 30 years old?

I suppose it depends if you want 'art' or usefulness? I'd have to be seriously rich before I started splashing out on useless auto exotic 'art' but then I'm not in your shoes.

Buy 15k worth of gold - & the real stuff not paper 'rights'

You have no idea how useful it will be in the coming years

HTH

Oil

Especially if you buy an old Ferrari.

You are a contractor - Have both!

For 15K I wouldn't try getting either of the two. They'd be rubbish.

However you could buy a lot of cheese for that kind of money.

You can't go wrong with a nice bit of cheese.
