My personal view is, cars of the 50/60s are becomming more and more=20
collectors cars and no more drivers cars. Pricewise its getting important=
=20
to have the car in unmodified order, original spec, original colour, etc.=
=20
In todays traffic its not nice to drive an Austin-Healey on motorways or=20
long distances with heavy traffic inbetween. The collectors, I do not say=
=20
drivers anymore, are in pensioners age. Most younger people have no=20
emotional relation to cars. A car is just a way of commuting, but better to=
=20
use public transport. I see it with my daughter. She has no relation=20
whatsoever with cars. She drives when she must, but uses alternartives when=
=20
they are given.
I see it with me. When I go to an Austin-Healey event or weekend, I load=20
the Healey on the trailer and bring it to the event. Its fun to drive it=20
there, but I really don`t like at all to drive my Austin-Healeys over long=
=20
distances. So I can keep it/them in good original shape. here its really a=
=20
nightmare to go with a classic car on roads through central Europe from one=
=20
congestion to the next.
For holidays meanwhile we have a Mazda MX-5, which gives same or even more=
=20
fun to drive on todays traffic. And it hase all the safety gadgets like=20
airbags, ertc. and the engine is a dream. It revs up from 2000 to 7000 rpm,=
=20
just pulling.
So my personal view is, original classic cars may keep their value (not=20
sure if I am right), but modified ones will loose a lot. They lost their=20
classic appearance and even cannot cope with today`s traffic. The original=
=20
parts are gone, and replaced by Chinese tableware.
I think most important is to keep the original look with all the=20
chromeware, right colours for paint and trim and keep the car as they were=
=20
sold in the 50/60s. Time will tell, if I am right.
