What to buy the Aesthete for Christmas

Any of the following will do. Thank you.

1961 Ford Consul Capri. Styled by Charles Thompson under Mk II Zephyr man Colin Neale and intended to fill a virtually non-existent gap for a slow and rather expensive two seater coupe, Ford's first Capri was almost doomed from the outset. It shared no panels at all with its saloon siblings and its pre-crossflow iron  engine was not sporting in the slightest. Even so, it takes and great picture with its fishbowl screens and mini-Thunderbird nose while the combination of primrose hull and white cabin makes the Aesthete weak with unrequited and unexplainable ownership urges.

For: Lovely to look upon.
Against: But not to drive.
Investment potential: 1/10. Approaching the outer limits of what these  cars will ever be worth.

1971 Saab Sonnet 3. More from the world of awkwardly configured two seaters with flawed power units comes this Saab Sonnet, a fibreglass concoction originally fitted with a two stroke triple under its shovel nose. The compact V4 from the Transit van was able to be squeezed in and the series 3 cars were so equipped. They sold in reasonable numbers in North America but are as rare as Swedish cactus anywhere else.

For: No one else has one.
Against: No one else has one.
Investment potential: 2/10. No one is rushing forward to buy this one so I would suggest it is over priced.

1991 Mazda Eunos Cosmo. Speaking of two strokes, the Wankel rotary is technically one which explains the high pitched howling and exhaust pings that you hear when the cap on backwards set are out on Saturday night. When searching for added performance, Mazda's engineers attached another beer keg full of rotors, instantly increasing output by a third and enabling their boulevardier coupe up to 160 mph. Talk nicely to the pimply boy with the laptop and 180 is not out of the question.

For: An odd lapse in taste, I know.
Against. Wouldn't you rather have a Porsche 928?
Investment potential: 2/10. As the usual buyers are all out of work or in prison, not great.

1973 Porsche 911. Built to an uncertain specification but to an apparently scrupulous standard, this 911 points to the skyward prices for the early series cars that went through the 100K bracket some few years past. Anyone who has one sitting around in pieces (and you know full well who you are) should probably get moving while the bubble still holds air.

For: A white 911 on Fuchs wheels. Grwwlll.
Against: Other Porsche 911 owners.
Investment potential: 3/10. Uncertain parentage warrants close inspection.

1982 Porsche 924. Or for approximately 1.8% of the asking price of the hybridised 911 you could enjoy this 924, also in white, and never have to worry about installing a surveillance camera in your garage or employing private security. They will never be worth anything and are consequently a lot of fun.

For: Its white and its a Porsche and its almost free.
Against: I know. Its a VW with a van motor in it.
Investment potential. 2/10. Don't be the pub bore and say it is not a real Porsche. Buy it and enjoy it.

On some faraway beach...

1969 Plymouth Barracuda. Because the Aesthete has no masculinity issues he would be happy to drive this Plymouth Barracuda with its rare Mod Top trim option down to the beach and throw the doors open so that onlookers could coo at its flower print seats. He would be wearing matching Bermuda shorts and carrying a cooler bag full of Margarita while playing sounds suitable for the Age of Aquarius.

For: Help the Aesthete live his dreams.
Against: No. Save him from himself.
Investment potential: 12/10.
