Costs of owning an older 'supercar'

[Robbo]

Indulge me here, we've all seen the 10 year old Aston Martin Vantages, Audi R8's, Bentleys and other similar cars that have entered more 'affordable' price ranges.

This is largely because of the terrifying potential running costs attached to them.

But just how bad are these costs? Does anyone actually own an older car like this? Or have you in the past?

If you have an experienced and knowledgeable mechanic on hand, isn't it just a case of getting the parts at a non-extortionate cost?

If you can't afford two, don't buy one.

That seems logical. I wouldn’t do it for the reasons stated, it was just something I wondered about really.
