My views on classic cars have been tarnished by all the crap ordinary cars I have had in the past. A very nasty example was an Austin 1300GT. Looked nice when I bought it-white with a black plastic leather roof. It failed the MOT five times because of corrosion and the welder who repaired it ruined the seats with his blow torch. It had three gearboxes fitted and when I sold it the exhaust was blowing blue smoke because the piston rings were knackered.
