Why is it a shame that people do what they like with their possessions?

Very true nobody in the 1960's dreamed that people would pay such silly money for an old car.
Epic fails of mine I sold a TR2 (long door) for Ł185 now 25k. a TR3 for Ł190 now 22k & a Mk 1 Cooper s for Ł180 now 15K+.
A Ł1,000,000 D type Jag sold for Ł2400 in 1963. Im keeping my Pug 107 will be worth a million one day .

I can't see the good parts on it though, not much could be used from that, unfortunately a lot of cars have to be left like that for the good ones to be worth the money, imagine how cheap they would be if all of them were in good condition.
