I already have a toy for embarrassing Porsches and the likes. Zero to sixty in a shade over 3 seconds, and cost me £3k..

A Honda VFR 800.

Spend enough money and it is easy to embarrass most production cars with what appear to be everyday vehicles.

Will you be saying that when in a few years its value has maybe doubled.

I was a very busy car dealer between 1976 and 1988, I resist lokking at the value now of some of the cars that passed through my fingers.

My son sold his 308 GTS about 8 years ago for only £25,000 maybe £60,000 now. I sold mine for £7,000 in 1979 maybe the same, I am the one needing bumps felt.

how much will they be worth when there no fuel for them....

remember years ago reading in Cars and Car Conversions ( a technically oriented magazine on souping up cars mostly for motoracing ) . They were building a Scoda rally car for a particalur category. This was when Skoda were very derisivaly treated, albeit sucessfull in class rally cars, not the rebadged VW/Audi of today. Coming back from the tuners they were flashing a BMW to move over at 130mph (ok disgracefull but hey ho). Didn't have any strips or big lamps on ot at that point so what on earth the beemer guy must have thought. At that point 90mph was top whack for most standard cars

It's called scene tax. See also MGBs, air-cooled VWs, pre-2001 Minis and Land Rovers.
