Now that they've stopped making coarse rods, would it be worth buying a Hardy rod as an investment and which one would you buy?

Nope....not in my opinion. Rods rarely appreciate in value. Best you might do is get your money back.
That said....if I wanted one simply because it was a Hardy and it wasn't likely they'd ever make any more then it would be one of the original Marksmans. Either the Specialist Avon or Specialist float.
I have one of the 4 piece 15ft Hardy Marksman Specimen Float rods (not the supero) that they bought me when I retired but I wouldn't mind one of their Original Specialist Avon rods to go with it too.

My Fox Kevlar Barbel did; it's now worth double what I paid for it On balance , though, I have to admit you're right. e.
Cant say about the coarse rods but I know the fly reels once they were made in Korea have not held there money. A lot of the late made in England stuff was purchased by the yanks, the Korea stuff there not interested.
