My first car was a '61 Bugeye Sprite. I hated it -- because it was unreliable and kept me poor with repairs - including paying for "learning time" by small-town mechanics who'd never worked on one before. Cured me forever of sports cars!
Instead, my "mid-life crisis" car was a mild-mannered Hyundai Pony. Bought it brand-new, right after my divorce -- and was glad I could afford it!
I like some English cars, because they remind me of the England I left, as a kid (1952). I especially like Wolseleys, most Alvis cars, Armstrong-Siddeleys and older Rovers. Don't have the skill to restore one, though. Only car-related skill I have is signing cheques -- and of course, that has its limits.
I wish you well with your project, though... nice-looking cars.
