Well yes the pre-war cars that are very rare and cost multiple hundreds of thousands of pounds plus are exciting. The reality of anything vaguely affordable for 99% of people is a plodding small engine that lumbers up to 60 to 70mph flatout if you're lucky and isn't capable of cruising long distances at more than 50. Still I suppose it would be exciting if you need to stop quickly from that speed ;-)

Great cars. Pre war cars are fantastic but it's a real shame that all the cars shown here are not accessible to people under the age of 70 or for people who don't have millionaire parents. I'm the only person under the age of 60 in my pre war club and i can't go to any meetings because they're on Wednesday afternoons when normal people have to work. Most clubs are unfortunately full of 'investment gurus' that think high car prices are good for their hobby. I'm looking forward to the next price crash when younger people might be able to get their hands on them.

@@asciimation Indeed. You've had the job of cobbling together a decent engine from 3 or 4 shagged out ones of notably different specs, so anything you've achieved is hard fought. Design details at Riley during this specific period changed every time someone returned from lunch. Apropos nothing in particular, there was a bloke who teamed up two Riley 9 engines to try and make a straight eight, although i've the suspicion that all he may have achieved in the long term was buggering two engines beyond repair.

@@thephilpott2194 "changed every time someone returned from lunch" I wonder if that was how they came up with all the models too! I can never keep them all straight in my head. Didn't Riley themselves make a V8 from two 9 blocks? Or am I imagining that? Need to dig out my Riley books again.

Also of note , the Brush had set a number of Firsts, one was the first car to climb Pikes Peak (horse drawn wagon trail roads) , second the first car to cross the width of Australia acroos the widest points I beleieve East to West. That car was resored and attempted the feat several years ago. The frame was made of Oak andit had a sour saying of the time ": Wood wheels, wood frame , wouldnt Run" Engine design was special as it was the first to have Roller cam followers,. To lower engine vibration had a secondary internal idler shaft much like the Japanese cars of the 80's

People who make comments like that have likely never seen a Darracq 200HP, Fiat S76 or any vintage aero-engined car in action. Folks back then were already pushing the limits of car tech as early as when cars became a marketable item.

I live pre war cars, they're one of my favorite eras of automotive history. The beautiful styling, simplicity, abundancy of manual transmissions and even the fact that they were easy to service on and repair. It makes me wish cars from that era were still made today. It's a good thing the style is kept alive with neoclassic cars!

So, arbitrarily picking 1926 for a reference time, your $250-$390 usd kit adjusted for inflation at $4,332-$6,758 todays money could be installed on your $380 car adjusted to $6,585 for inflation to make it a snowmobile. Proportionally comparing the vehicle's msrp to the cost of the kit being nearly the same cost or more expensive than the vehicle would definitely be a limiting factor but comparing that to anything sold today it almost hurts a little. You can't buy a new sled for that price anymore let alone a car or even motorcycle. Edit: Ironically the cost of upgrading some two wheel drive trucks to four wheel drive particularly if you want a two speed transfer case can be between $5k and $7k on top of the base msrp. So.... yep.
