Having one today you would always be worried that someone would steal it.

That must have been such fun at that age. In similar vein, I read this account by Sam Posey of his first experiences with a super car, which might amuse anybody who hasn't read is: http://www.roadandtr...s/the-sl-and-mehttp://www.automobil...e-late-60s.html
The way things were...

Get in now at the bottom of the price schedule, then find a nice dry warm place to store it, keep it registered at least some of the time so you can drive it and keep everything working,, except the things that go wrong driving it!! And presto a neat nest egg in 10-20 years.
That is providing you have the space to store it properly and the funds to maintain it.
The same for any potential collectable, and many appreciate better and cost a LOT less to maintain.
Look at 60s Pony cars, not in the 250 price range, except Shelbys, Yenkos, all the rare ones. And for mine a bloody sight more fun to drive, and defenitly maintain.

The economic outlook for US, UK ,Japan & Europe is grim. Asset values are more likely to head south rather than north over the next 10 years, maybe more.

It would be nice from my perspective to think the Assets themselves would be heading south. It would be great to see the classics we Antipodeans 'gave away' in the 70s-90s coming back again. We have a few mining magnates who could buy an entire Goodwood paddock several times over with their loose change!... Asset values are more likely to head south rather than north over the next 10 years, maybe more.
