I have a survivor car that I keep original as that is my duty. I use it
lightly and employ, Mobil1, Dot 5 and Waxoyl. I am now doing the same with
an SRT6 Cross fire roadster. All mods reversible. Gary B9472283

Chris.. i kind of get where you are coming from.. but survivor cars are
special, and as we know things are only original once. It s a great
responsibility to own a car thats low milage as in some ways you are not
keeping it to make yourself feel better, but to hold on to show to others
what they are like when new. It would take great restraint to own one and
ultimately they are hopefully entrusted to people who appreciate the cars
for what they are and use them in a manner that maintains their state.
A great example is John Boggis in the Uk.. his auto alpine is something
else:
http://www.sunbeam-alpine.com
it wuld be a shame to the sunbeam community if someone modified it, drove it
into the ground or even restored it.. as is it gives us all a great window
into the past.
