Young engineers today are not taught how things were made in years gone by. I worked once in an iron foundry while attending college . We had patterns from the civil war in the very back of the warehouse..
I have got a very good hint for you to keeping the nice old Engine in good shape with todays ultra dry eco fuels: Use 1:100 API TC two stroke oil / fuel mix as regular driving fuel, that keeps the old fuel-system gaskets, rubber parts, alloy parts etc... and cast iron metal surfaces of those vintage engines in excellent shape...and it also lubricates the valves and upper piston regions. Most Porsche vintage owners in Germany do so Also keeps carbs/injection and tank clean and rustfree!
My MGB has no cruise control, a/c, traction control, MP3 player, automatic transmission, anti lock brakes, power windows, door locks, seats, or fuel injection. There's something great about being connected to the car itself. You can also smell the gas and oil as you drive. Nice shots of the car show JCV.
Nice vid. I rated your video too. Check out my videos on auto detailing and tell me what you think. I think auto clubs and auto detailing go good together.

Old cars were made by hand.
The men and women who build the beauty in cars of the day, had real passion for what they were building.
Now, cars are mass produced by robots. Sure, they may have the best of technology, but without the pride and passion of old...

Love all of them, especially the A55 Cambridge. Had the A60 Van version of this (a 1970) many years ago. Column change with a B Series engine.

Phenomenal mileage?
When they talk of new small cars doing 60mpg it reminds me of the Austin Metro HLE doing 60.5mpg back in the early 1980's.
So much for progress.
