I think the low miles are what scare me off. Driving it would raise the mileage, and lower the value. So then I couldn't do the funnest part of owning a car, driving it. If I bought a hundred thousand mile example that had already been rebuilt twice, driving it more wouldn't really effect the value.
Plus, I'm not really a "piss off the purists" kind of guy. I want my someday grand kids to see a nice original classic. Let's face it... how many radical engine swaps and such actually get finished? And then what's the long term prognosis for a drastically modified car?

Why would they use a serial number in the 400s?
Because it's a fake serial tag.

Wordplay and it is a fake. Highest numbers were in the 130-140 range. I was around there to watch some of the first batch being built and tested.
The actual tags did say Cannonsburg.
and were placed on the driver's side A pillar.

IIRC that used to belong to a member on the board here, maybe still does. Can't remember his SN though.
I think that was AutoXR? Don't quote me on that. But yeah, it definitely belonged to a GRM'er who had a whole garage full of similarly cool stuff.

Yeah that's right, he also had a turbo Corsa that replumbed the stock Turbo system.
