Because many owners of classic cars regard their cars as an investment
(more or less) they tend to barely drive the car. Such a pity. I two
months ago I drove my Jensen-Healey to an event around the Loire in
France, organised by the British JOC. Participants came from Italy,
Monaco, France, UK, Germany, Netherlands. We did around 2000km of
driving, mainly secondary roads but I also ended up on the Boulevard
Périférique around Paris in peak hour and at 35C. Two hours in very
slow/blocked and dense traffic with motor bikes flying around left and
right in between the lanes at 80km/h. Still I loved the trip. These cars
are made for driving and enjoying yourself, ok slightly masochistic
perhaps, but still. They need some mods to do so safely and reliably.
Much better than have them 100% original but not fit for modern traffic
and sitting in the garage.
If we do not drive them our (grand)children would not either and are not
getting used to keep these cars on the road. They would not learn the
skills to repair and maintain them. They loose interest.
Mazda MX-5, the best British sports car ever, however a bit boring
because nothing goes wrong with them and modern engine management means
that you cannot do yourself an awful lot when things do go wrong.

nice to drive an Austin-Healey on motorways or long distances
