Part of the allure in these is the potential for home-built versions. I always admired Colin Chapman's 'added lightness' approach, especially b/c it fit my budget much better (until you get to the unobtanium pieces) - easy to ditch a few hundred pounds if you don't mind tossing the rear seats, insulator pads, and spare tires. They also become the unicorns that keep you interested when scouting old cars (or painful 'one that got away' stories). And the financial data is a good reminder that, despite today's TV auction bombardment, cars have never been a good investment tool (even before you factor in the storage, maintenance and upkeep).
