What are the next collectables? What should we keeping?

[Big Rob]

This is an interesting discussion that has a bit of relevance to me.

I've owned a very low km HSV VT series 2 Clubsport with lots of options for almost 10 years now. It's in perfect condition and still smells like a new car inside. It is rarely driven and I've been keeping it as a "future collectable".

My wife has a VT SS as her daily driver. It's in really good condition, but starting to show some signs of it age (stonechips, etc..). She's always wanted a Monaro CV8, but we never thought we'd be able to get her one that we could afford.

Yesterday we had lunch in town and while walking back to the car we stopped at the local Holden Dealer just to see what was there.

Lo and behold..... a red CV8 Monaro with 77,000 kms and in pretty good condition for $27,999.00.

So my question is..... Do I trade-in my Clubsport and her car to get the Monaro (remembering that it will be her daily driver) with a view to it being our "future collectable", or do we stay put with what we have?

I have plenty of other cars to drive, and it would mean one less rego per year, but I do love the Clubsport.

Opinions?

Short answer Rob from me is, stick with what you have.

If you come and visit me i'll sell you a V2 CV8 in Quicksilver with black trim, full service history in great condition with near 12 months rego, 117,000kM for under $18k. Totally original car, i've had it since it was 2 years old purchased when it was traded locally by the original owner. Will come with a NOS front bar, I was going to put it on but they get damaged so easily I cleaned up the one on it. It was my wife's daily drive until I bought her the Lexus RX350.
