Can I please state that I intend no offence to drivers of modern cars with my following views and opinions.

Putting it bluntly, modern cars feel very plasticy, flimsy and cheap compared to cars of the 60's and 70's. When did you ever see a Morris Minor, Ford Anglia or Vauxhall Cresta with a grille or interior that looked and felt like a recycled vending machine cup? If an old car has 'leather' interior, it has proper leather that you can smell when you open the door. Modern cars hare soul-less. They dont have interesting lines or quirky features that are so daft that they are cool. Old cars are also so much more fun to drive and be in. Take a Honda civic, Toyota Celica or any other modern coupe for a drive, and the take a 1980 ford capri for a drive. Then tell me which one makes you feel more alive?

Also Old cars were designed to last as long as possible. We now live in a throw away or recycle society, where new cars are built with a life expectancy of roughly 10 years.
