I've always assumed that people will often try to own something that a father or uncle had when they were a child and which captured their imagination and sparked their interest in cars.
It went mad a few years ago as far as classics are concerned. Almost everything now seems to be at about 250% of 2010 prices. Very few under the radar classics left. Might have been 4 Star who were looking £80k (!) for a low mileage 924 Carrera GT about six months or so back. Doesn't seem so long since a shade under £20k would have bought a good one.

Also, so many people who don't really know cars well but fancy the idea of something classic and a bit flash aspire to a Capri. The roads were full of them so everyone knows what they are and they appeal to people who think The Professionals was a cool show. Jamie Oliver is handbraking a Mk.3 on his current series.
With these hugely priced low mileage cars, as with any other car for sale, the dealers only need the one buyer. Probably a well-heeled person who wants to add it to a private collection.
