Don't fool yourself. This is an investment vehicle. It is highly exclusive. It has the status of being the most expensive car in the world at the time. Yadda yadda yadda, if this thing is a well-maintained garage queen for 30 years, it's reasonable to expect it to sell for more than what it was bought for, especially if several of them are crashed.

Look at vintage ferraris, hell even vintage muscle cars. The rarer the better, and they're all selling for X times what they were bought for. Lamborghini Reventons are aimed at the collector set, too.
