I'd argue that thesis, Dave... but then, I would, wouldn't I? Of my coupe, which I've owned seventeen years from new, there are fewer than two hundred on the road. Though I have never been aware of a definition of 'classic' that all can agree on. I'd also argue that the Fiat is an easier car to work on than most kits, whether you're the original builder or not. There's nothing beyond the abilities of a reasonable home mechanic on either car, and at least the Fiat has the manufacturor's manuals available... when I tried to work on my Quantum before I squeezed the Fiat engine in there, I found that while the mechanics were simple the wiring was both different from the original in gross and in detail, and incidentally had been butchered - badly - on more than one occasion. There was one fault I was unable to localise until I stripped out the entire front of the wiring loom.
What I do know - being a moderator on the FCCUK forum - is how much work went into that article from the mod team, to get the details right (and one or two still sneaked through!). If we're going to try and get that sort of coverage for any of the Quantums, we'll need to be prepared to put a lot of effort in.
