Will we ever learn, History repeats itself over and over again.
I was doing some research on some old racers and found articles, same arguments as this thread back in the '90's. Brakes, Inserts, distributors etc.
True, automotive technology has progressed and the original cars do have a place in history.
What we should be concerned with is the preservation of ALL of these cars, as the electrics will eventually render them unusable or undrivable.
The other issue should be educating anyone who is remotely interested in these cars, I met a young man recently who was looking over my coupe. He had driven up in a Shay car and was asking me if mine was a kit car. After some discussion he realized why his only cost $8k. Then he took interest in leaning and he is looking for an original to start rebuilding/restoring.

Happy New Year All, may '21 be better than this last disaster.
