I'm a sentimental old E36 M3 and I'll miss each and every one of these, but the 911 and bugeye are on another level for me. I can't explain it but this goes way beyond pragmatics

Why isn't anyone saying "both"?  I say Both!  Take both!  Find a way to save up and take both!

Both, I say!

Wish I could.  $$$$$. This will end up costly and I'm trying to be realistic.

You're not the only one. I drove my 2003 MINI for 16 years until it got whacked by a Kenworth. The very next day I found an almost identical car, aside from colour. The "new" one had 12,000 miles on it, but it's just not the same feeling about it. There's no history with it, or adventures.

This thread is so far from grassroots that it is hard to even think about

Sell the 20ft enclosed trailer. Put both carsin the 24ft enclosed and ship all three as a unit to HI. I don't it'll cost THAT much more to ship vs a 20ft and bug eye. Maybe a few grand more. If you can't afford that then sell both cars and both enclosed units and use the cash for the move.

I totally understand this.  The little Datsun 1200 has worth far beyond it's value. I have a standing offer to swap it for a Miata.

 The Miata would run in the exact same run group as the 1200. I'd also have chance for an overall win with the Miata but after 40 years with the 1200 I'd miss the little car.
