A "concours" example, <6,000 miles, for £6k.

I'm very tempted, already owning a well used, scruffy example that I have already spent c. £3k on over 2 years, excludng the low purchase price. It still needs the front brakes renewing, and decent radio, and the driver's window lifter sorted.
The only reasons not to swap, for me, are that the premium for a concours car is wasted given I want it to use; and it's too perfect - I'll worry about damage, which I currently don't.
I was similarly tempted by a 'preserved' E class a few years ago - 5 years old, 3,000 miles, with plastic on the seats still. But what was the point of paying extra for a car that had never been out in the rain, to use it in exactly those conditions?
I still think the £6k is a bargain though. They say if you want a nice one, buy a nice one.
