let me think ......
I have this 40 year old english sports car .... and I am third in line to buy it.... I hear that the transmission needs to be replaced... besides the usual stuff like the rooftop, the tires , the the the .... Its a small car but I am 7 foot tall ..
I want to use the car for daily transport
it looks neat ... could be a nice project ....


Of course the above is just an example ... I am certainly not 7 foot tall and I dont have a Sprite or Midget floating around ...

if you want something reliable and much more fitting for your size and weight , than you need to buy something much much newer ...
this 40 dlr would be a lot of headache and two 5 mile trips and than all the fun would be hanging in the garage
