I had a ''71 GT this same color that I drove daily for a couple years w/o issues, until a drunk totaled it sitting at the curb.
It was a lot of fun; think "It's more fun to drive a slow car fast than it is to drive a fast car slow."
I've owned four British cars over the years and they were all fun, but this one was the only one that was...mechanically stable? The others suffered mostly from recurrent bouts with the Brit car trademark, "Lucas-refrigerator-warm-beer syndrome".
I agree with post #2.
