7,300 miles in 27 years! Guess when you are so rich, actually using your toys doesnt mean anything.

I imagine it is hard to find occasion to drive the vast array of cars they own, and they likely do few miles "themselves" anyway. I don't doubt the first 6k were probably done in the first 3 years of ownership or something daft :cry:
 
Struggling to see anything better than the Z4 (other than the thorn in it’s side from launch, Porsche).
Utterly crazy what I drive for the price of a pushbike.
I guess the biggest issues for most are storage & insurance.

That is quite a sexy looking car. Why is it so familiar, was it in a movie?

Its not a lot of money for what I consider to be nicest looking stingray. Last of the chrome bumper models and its has the larger more powerful engine 7.4l. Can be easily tweaked to produce 460bhp (if you want to!) before emissions started dropping the power in the vettes in later years.

Fun classic car for £30k.

The values vary greatly, early chrome bumper models with big blocks fetch strong money as do the limited and special edition models.

My favourites are the 80-82 models as prefer the body shape and was what I was looking for but when I got the chance to on a Pace Car at really good price I grabbed it, paid 18k and already had someone try to buy it of me at 24k but it’s the kind of car you never sell.

Also for what later cars lack in power they drive better as weigh considerably less, several hundred kilos compared to a big block with improved chassis and of course the small blocks are also very tuneable or easy to drop in a crate motor.
