I love these type of cars too, so long as they are well sorted, in the engineering department.

Even the factory can get it wrong. An example I am personally familiar with. I owned a national canadian shock absorber distributorship and got a special order
for a full set of gas externally adjustable shocks for a Sunbeam Tiger. they had to be specially manufactured. The hi performance shop that orderd them called a few weeks later, saying "no need to supply the shocks, the guy is dead. Due to stress cracks in his front suspension, he lost it at 90mph on a curve.

When done well they are giant-slayers.
