I personally bought an AM, in my case a Vantage, as it was and still is my dream car. The value of it might go up or down due to unforeseen circumstance like this one but I don't plan on ever selling it myself, so who cares if you need to re-spray a bumper/hood/fender just do it and drive it as it was meant to be, enjoy these cars.

I feel so sorry when I look at auction and see cars like a Cobra 427 with 100 miles on it or a Corvette L88 with only a few miles or yet a Lamborghini Countach that never been registered. To each is own, just my 2 cents...
