These pampered old motors are so well maintained they're not that bad
the old codgers driving them spend more time fettling their cars than driving them so the engines are better than they'd have been out of the factory. The biggest risk is getting into a long conversation with Malcom about the history of of the overhead cam design in his Triumph Dolomite Sprint while he's lifting the bonnet to show you how clean the engine bay is (yes, Malcolm, it was the first production car with an OHC, yes, Saab shared the same engine...) I had a great time!
