Note: even with inflation since 1963 at $7.78 to the dollar, a DB5 is not $101k today. No, more like one meeellion dollars. And think, the whole intervening 50 years you’d have had a DB5!

Definitely a time travel BUYBUYBUY

If you’re investing with the benefit of hindsight, that’s a pretty rubbish return. Then again, if you’re investing in hindsight you can have a winning lottery ticket for a dollar or two, so pretty much everything else looks like a rubbish return.

If you’d bought a building in central London for that money in 1963 and it’d now be worth £10m+ - and that’s without factoring in the rent over that time.

True enough, but I suspect I’d have had more fun with the car.

Could have bought the car in the mid eighties for not much, out of the previous decade’s rent.

See, that’s why you’re the time travel organizing consultant in this venture. Clearly it’s important to have a plan.

I have to admit that I justify knowing lots of useless information on the basis that if I ever somehow get sent back in time I’ll know what to do. I may have spent too long thinking about this kind of thing...
