i will agree cost of ownership is rather steep, but you throw it oot the windy when you go a hurrle in the motor!!!! i have lost count how much i have spent on mine in last few months, mainly mods though but also had to get new radiator driveshaft, but just went through MOT with no troubles wot so ever!!
BUT IT HAS TO BE CLASSICS ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! seen as the debate has popped up again!!!!!!! classic is so much more fun to throw around!!!!!!
