I still disagree there old cars now and even a cracking example used everyday will have issues im sorry, i love mine and think there not bad at all but id hate to run one as a daily as parts are harder to find nowadays and such. Great cars but for everyday use id stick with the mondy as it will be far better IMO. I still think there will be required regaular maintenance and if its not something he wants to do the advice of keeping the other car surely makes more sense ? Just my 2p's worth
