I guess we need to take a couple of steps back and define "collectors car".
My version of this is it sits and never gets driven at all. A true collectors car will lose value for every mile put on it.
If we are talking a rare car that is used for weekends or casual use it could be a "show" or "hobby" car but would no longer have collector status.
I think the Evos you spoke of fit into a class other then "collector" since they are loved for their driving characteristics and are therefore actually driven. I doubt there are many hidden away that never see the road.
