Any car that is worth a Million or more can be destroyed down to the number plate and rebuilt as good as new, look at the Wonder car, raced for 40 years, it was a total rat when I saw it at Symbolic with the wrong 4 cam motor in it. Some cosmetic work was done and it sold for over $2,000,000.
Why not use the thing? The Monterey Historics is made up of beautiful old cars whose value is only enhanced by their use. it is very cool to see somebody driving the wheels off a Ferrari 250 LM alongside much more obscure and less valuable cars.
The Brits, Aussies and Kiwi's seem to drive their cars and put them on the track a lot and that is very cool.
Would I want to drive it every day to work? Probably not, but I drive mine to work sometimes, just because I can!
