Obviously there are other considerations to this problem, but considering the history she has had with it in the short time it has been in Exert (judging from your other posts) a stern word on treating an aging classic correctly might be in order. I no longer allow certain people to drive mine as they try and treat it like a modern car and have no mechanical sympathy whatsoever!
There was a program on BBC recently where 8 celebs were given classic cars and entered into a historic rally in Asia. By the end of the first day the two rappers who had a Hilman Imp had destroyed the engine through total ignorance and only the shear bullet proofness of the Morris Minor had saved that from a similar fate. The Mini didn't last long untill it was put on it's roof. Only Noel Edmonds seems to have the slightest idea how to treat an old car, his MGB made it to the end unscathed.
