Consequently, I don't think many good uns come up for sale. If they do; it's a case of how long is a piece of string. I've seen seriously modified cars (read 15k+ spent in mods) go for a mere few thousand over what a standard counterpart would be worth.

A reliable Circa 400 bhp, which would be very nice on the road, is much more attainable these days and if you're not sure you want to keep the car long term, this would be the level to stop at for most.

If you have the money though, go for it!

All IMHO
