Agreed, as well. I can tell the difference between an MG TC, TD, TF, or a Triumph TR2, TR3, TR4, etc. from across the street.

Nowadays, I cannot even tell the difference between a Kia and a BMW, sad to say...

Cars used to have different designers (because of style, panache, and  élan). Now they all have the same designer: air vs. Drag coefficient


Yes, definitely more maintenance is required for the older vehicles, but also it generally is much easier/quicker maintenance. And I would also say, more enjoyable...  :-)

Which is why I have old Triumphs as a hobby, and cheerfully pay a small fortune to have someone else work on my modern cars on the rare occasion that they need some work.   I don't even change my own oil or brake pads any more, because I'm retired from working and I have better things to do.
