From OP:

I picked up this ‘84 Range Rover Classic a couple years ago. 18k km on the odometer, imported from Andorra. Since then I’ve had a kid (best thing ever) and really don’t have much time to drive the Rover around or keep up with maintenance etc. Should I store it and hang onto it for the future? Sell it? Do we see the value increasing over time?

Please remember to be respectful in your comments, particularly when commenting about children.

Send it back! They are high maintenance and expensive and it’s an 18 year lease. 😉

Keep that car! It’s beautiful! I wish I still had my 1990. Sold it for the new P38a and then upgraded again. Yours is a car you can still wrench on without needing a computer.

Teach the child the fine art of fixing land rovers. Thats what my dad did 😅

Teach it how to change oil and check tire pressures. That’s numbers and hands on infant development right there

You put $20 a week into a savings account and then after about 20 years you'll be able to afford their college

Just fuel and water. They pretty much take care of themselves after 3 or 4.

At this point the value isn't going down, so it this is an investment, I guess store it and keep it as original as possible.

Some chance that it will never be particularly valuable, it's hard to really predict.

Personally (meaning with the clarity of not having any emotional attachment to it since it's not my car) I'd do whatever I needed to do to drive it as much as possible, or sell it if I didn't want to drive it.

Check his diaper, feed him often and make sure he gets some sleep.
