Anyway my opinion on this subject can be paraphrased as this:
Every performance improvement you make to an old car simply makes it drive more modern ... thus why buy an old car in the first place?
I recently had the very privileged experience of driving my fathers recently restored (by him and finished about 1 year ago) MGB GT and it is 100% period in specification. Yep it was slow, yep it was noisy and man the steering was heavy but heck it was a bloody blast and a lot of fun.
That is what classic/old car ownership is about, not 0 to 60 times, etc.
