Do they make cars like that now? As an aside I change the oil in my Yamaha enduro machine after every ride. That's probably 100 miles between changes. It's now six years old now and has never had a spanner on the engine.

I know oil is now great and engines clean and perfect :lol: but when engine lube is cheaper than road fuel can you afford not to change it more regularly. These days I can actually feel the difference in a vehicle after a 10,000 mile oil change. In the past an oil change did not make alot of difference. The £10 for oil must pay back in no time with diesel at £7 a gallon. Oil seems to get dirty quicker these days especially with egr fitted to engines.

Cracking video and a lovely chap.

 

What I find staggering is that it didn't need anything other than servicing for it's first quarter million miles. My crappy Navara had it's first garage visit 6 weeks from new with power loss.

 

In addition to the question of whether they make cars like that these days, I can't think of one modern car that is that beautiful. Old Volvos are stunning!
