It's a total fallacy you can use the average classic car as everyday
transport as easily as a modern one. They all require far more regular
attention. And that is going to be expensive, if not a DIY labour of love.

The was a fashion for Moggies round here a few years ago. About half a
dozen nearby. For perhaps a year or so, then they all moved on. I only
talked to one of the owners. Her car has been bought as updated for modern
use - later lead free engine with alternator, and disc brakes with servo
etc. But obviously not the car for life she thought he was buying.
