Yes, “Classics” in terms of age but I do not think they will reach the dizzy heights values of the original Z1, Z1A, Z1B, etc.

Anyone else have a view on this?

I just liked the way they were trying to link it to Paul Smart. If it was a Ducati he had raced fair enough, but sold by the shop he owned not really going to add value.
I'm wondering what will happen as Petrol gets phased out. Will all the blokes with a classic in the shed die out leaving only the Museum Pieces, or will they find a way to keep them running.

I wonder about the same. Petrol is on its way out... I guess this means the end of our hobby at the end, I hope this will happen way after I'm gone though. I'm currently driving a hybrid leased car (beamer...) I reckon this will be the last petrol based one. But boy o boy what a great car this is, best beamer I ever had since 2000...
