Dollar for dollar nothing can compete with a Cobra

The values of 20's cars is not fueled by people who remember them from their youth.... for example the Bentleys, the Rolls, the Duseys.... those cars are investments. When the music stops, I wouldn't want to have paid 2 million for a Hemi or a L88 or ....

I suspect the original Cobras, the SWB Ferraris, the 300sls ect will continue to appreciate and the Tiger will also..but because it has no significant race history, something like a Pantera. In any case, I think Rod is right that the Tiger is a original and will increase in value, I am not aware of any mass produced replica that has.

Of todays cars, the Ford GT, the Veyron, the F1, any factory team Corvette or Viper, some of the Caddies, Mercedes, Porsches ect.... it is possible that the 993 will be the 356 of the future.

One of my grandsons is going to get that SPF and if he doesn't kill himself, will have a lot of fun...but the one that gets the 110 hp restored 1959 356A will make some money.

The Civic...I think not.

Did you say the Tiger DOES NOT have any significant race History, you do know the first cars were built to and race in Le Mans, I think you need to learn a little more about the Tiger...

Yes I knew that , lined up right next to the Porsche team, and those cars are probably very valuable...but the ordinary customer car is not of a comparable value relative to a original Cobra customer car.

Precisely because " significant" is a better adjective for the race history of a Cobra or a SWB 250 Ferrari or a 911 Porsche or a Jag or a Aston ....all of which benefit from the win on Sunday sell on Monday theory....

IMHO...and that is all it is...I don't consider the Tiger's race history to be significant....perhaps you do and that is fine.....

I certainly appreciate your advice....yup....sure do...look, I will be happy to ignore you if you will grant me the same courtesy . I am not interested in a internet argument, I was just offering a opinion.
