Given that all comparisons are odious, surely comparing classic cars in a manner best suited to moderns renders the comparison meaningless? Starting, brake feel, ride and comfort have little or nothi

A bit of FYI on the article in question: the winning Fiat had undergone substantial restoration and improvements. The field of cars were all in different states of repair, but all good runners. I too
