Older cars look nice, but not so much fun to drive compared to today's cars. Brakes and steering far inferior. Shame they will not make a car which looks like this beauty, but with modern components ( in my very humble opinion !5)
Cars seemed to have such individual style then, not like the eurobox of today.
You can of course buy old cars, with modern components, however the price reflects that very much! Here is one with modern mechanicals. http://www.spydercars.com/ - a 'new' Lotus Elan.
