I have a 94K e86. I use it as my daily (3 miles each way). For the money I cannot think of a car that puts such a big smile on my face every day and still gets looks. I don't see it as an investment (the classic car market can be so fickle and the mileage already puts it into the 'leggy' category). I would say sell it to someone who will use it and either buy something different that takes your fancy or add some money to the pot and buy a sub 50k car to put into mothballs for investment purposes. My view is cars are there to be driven and if you make a few quid then brilliant, but don't hang on to a car for purely financial reasons, only keep it because you love driving it.

I would say sell it if the only reason you are going to keep it is because it may appreciate in value because while I don’t think it will depreciate I don’t think there will be any significant rise. Also if you are not going to drive it at all for 2 years there maybe certain mechanical issues which arise from the car being sat around for some time which will cost to put right.
