Perhaps a bit OT, please excuse me. I've been thinking about this in my dotage. In 1972 I ordered a new Range-Rover. The cost was exactly £1700 and that included 12 months tax and a full tank of fuel. Took delivery from the factory in Dec 72 (with a guided tour and lunch) and drove it home. 22 gallon fuel tank and cost a fiver to fill. Blimey that was expensive motoring. I saw that Range-Rovers had an extended delivery time, and were making overs, so immediately ordered another. Took delivery of the second six months later and sold the first for a very handsome profit. Same for the second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth. The profit made on the first six paid entirely for the seventh, which I was never able to see or drive. I don't drive now but I think those first Range-Rovers were an incredible motor and a tribute to the engineers that then made the company a world beater. Land-Rover is a similar, but possibly sadder, tale.
I'm not a dealer of any kind, I was just fortunate at that time and made all I could of it.
Purely out of interest, is there any car made anywhere today that is worth paying over the top for? That's my Q.
I'm not thinking of buying. I know that manufacturers today manipulate the market by hype and underproduction but is there still any new car that is worth [a] waiting for or [b] paying overs for?
Thanks for reading this garbage, I'll be in the box soon and bother you no more.
Nick.
