I had my 4C for a year now, though it has been mostly lockdown and storage. Mine is a 2017 and completely stock. Driving requires attension (it's not a GT) but thats what i expected as it replaced Ducati motorcycle!

Had an uncle who was working in Germany and had a Morris traveller, the one with all the wood, but he fitted it with a highly tuned 1275cc midget engine, big Webber’s etc. Looked stock, but did about 110, he had some fun on the autobahn with that.

cannot find reason to love the DB7 once door opened and sitting inside. As a piece of sculpture I would have one though.
The 4c may well be good future bet but agree ^^^ it might be a slow burn like Il Mostro. Another car i "nearly bought".

Seriously looking at a V6 Busso this year.

I loved my DB7 and regret selling it as prices are now climbing V12 - sports exhaust, here she is on a charity track day at Bruntingthorpe, made that kids day.79989

Not reading 15 pages to catch up, but the Elise S1 hits 25 this year, which makes it eligible for importing to the US, where it was never sold as a road car. Perhaps it’s a niche situation, but I can see that having an effect on sales, especially for LHD ones

A DB7 GT manual does a far better job being a GT car than a DB9. The newer car is prettier, but the chassis dynamics have never sat well for me. It took them nearly to the end of the poor DB7’s life but they really did nail it with that car - it’s not as pretty as a DB9, but it’s a much more cohesive car; it knows what it is and it executes it almost perfectly. Every DB9 I’ve driven feels like a compromise.

Sorry if that upsets a few people - it usually does...

I had the straight 6 supercharged version in my mid twenties, possibly the worst car I've ever owned. I drove it no more than 1,500 miles and put it up for sale. It took more than 6 months to sell and I lost about £20k on it.

The electrics where terrible when new.
Mate had a 20v Turbo on lease and they could never sort it, crazy things like rear wash wipe would activate when indicating.
Fuses blowing frequently and the garages answer was a bag of spare fuses!
Looked good in yellow though!

Personally only ever experienced one 20v T and the electrics were great. Bought used at 18months old and driven for just over year. Nothing at all went wrong, not even a CEL. Wonder now if it was a fake! (Think they were all built in Pininfarina factory rather than fiat)
Never even noticed it had a rear wash wipe, the only wiping going on was the grin off my face :D

Biggest threat will be Goverment trying to tax any of these sub £10K cars off the road - as a percentage of running cost it won't make any sense to many and they will fall to scrappage schemes and the like (which reduces the pool of available cars possibly pushing values up but only to buyers who want one badly enough to put up with the taxation etc.)

Ways round everything though, for example, set up a motor trade shell company, get trade insurance (£1500-2000k pa) buy the cars and put the V5 in the company so it doesn’t add another registered keeper, trade plates, £150 pa and drive them all round without having to individually tax, insure or MOT them.
