After 26 odd years it is an excellent reliable driver in eye catching condition. It has never been driven in snow, salt, rain, has never been wet and has always been kept in a waxed and polished condition. During the past 6 years I have started the engine on a regular basis and have driven it short distances to check the brakes and to ensure oil and grease have reached the correct spots. The oil pressure is 40 psi when hot. I am no longer able to get into it owing to two replacement knees and advancing arthritis.
