I do agree and although I'm fairly passionate about my cars they are a hunk of material metal at the end of the day.
If I were loaded I think I would be fussy to the enth degree. However I'm not so will continue to try to get the best cars I can for the best prices I can while making an odd compromise along the way.
I will always try to buy a car, spec, colour that I feel I could sell easily enough if I ever needed to. Also if the buy price was keen it allows me to sell on price if I needed to as well Sometimes the wrong car will not sell at any price unless it is.sill silly cheap.
There is a Grigio Nuvolari QPV for £7995 now that must have been for sale for 3 years. It is low mileage as well but rough and just isn't selling even at £8k.
I think i know which car you mean, and to me a QPV that's been sitting for 3 years and is looking rough, could easily translate to £15k+ before it is looking relatively smart and is dependable.
I'm not particularly fuzzy either about my cars and as you i like them and want to use them for what they are. Just from my experience i have seen that the more specialist a car the target group is very small to start with and very emotional about it and should be a consideration when time comes to sell. For example I used to have a ferrari 456 GT silver with ligh blue interior. Now the typical potential 456 buyer is looking for a blue metalic with tan leather interior. So although silver with light blue interior is actually a historic racing 250 SWB combo, not a lot of people now it or appreciate it and so it took a lot of time to find someone.
