I have owned and ridden older Brooks (seventies or earlier) and newer Brooks (84 and newer). I will take the older stuff every time. The older saddles look the vintage part and stand up really well, in my opinion. The newer ones do not seem to be as durable nor as attractive (again, an opinion).
Mid seventies Brooks Pro and had it since you know who was a boy...
1984 Brooks Pro bought NOS a few years ago...
