Re: Night ride
I find night driving tough also. Very little to do with the rear view mirror, all the vertical glass turns the car into a house of mirrors when brightly illuminated from bright headlights following close. Keep in mind nothing like 12V quartz Halogen existed in 1930. 2nd problem is when you're driving along fine with eyes adjusted to the 6V glow, which is plenty to light up the road if you're alone. Then a modern car comes at you from the other direction with modern headlights (high beams if you're really unlucky) and your vision is ruined for the next 15 seconds or so.
I like the originality, but would not make a regular habit of driving at night in an original car in any kind of populated area.
