On the flip side, not a bad buy.
you and most of us look at these cars as driving machines, and use them as such.
While I am not a person who stores cars (though my E86 sits tightly under cover in the winter), I think you describe someone who views special cars also as material or collectors items, in addition to a driving machine. To them, preservation is just as enjoyable as acceleration.

I hope one day I am in a position that I can also have a car that I vew as art and more than just a driving machine. It might be a '55 porsche spyder replica, driven only on summer weekends.
