Very nice but what would you do with it? Drive it and it will be the same as any other in a few years, put it in a collection and you will need to pay the storage costs.
A museum needs to buy it.
A classic car owner I know very well was looking at a Capri Brooklands 18 months ago, very low miles, it still had the smell of a new car, had been MOT'd every year of its life to prove the mileage. Some years the only mileage it had done was for an MOT. It was still on its tyres that it left the factory with. We discussed the ins and outs of ownership and he decided he didnt want the responsibility. It was unlikely to increase in value and it was going to cost him at least £500 to store it.
There is a place I know of in the Cotswolds that stores car, it has numerous cars from the 70's,80s,90s and 0s that have little more than delivery mileage, cars that you would not give a second look at like a Maxi, Cavalier and Escort. There are of course many exotics but the crazy part is some cars are exercised.
Just because it is low mileage will not mean it will be like a new car, the tyres will have degraded and I suspect if it was going to be used it would start showing other parts that needed replacing.
