Mr Porter’s article on classic cars and vintage clothes:

http://www.mrporter.com/journal/journal_issue22/1

“Driving a classic car transports you back in time, to when door handles were made of real metal, wooden dashboards weren’t moulded from plastic “trees”, navigation was by map and a friendly man driving in the other direction would alert you to the policeman lurking around the next corner. Like wearing a vintage watch, driving a classic car says you appreciate quality mechanical engineering and timeless style. That classic cars are also tangible, usable assets with zero depreciation (or significant appreciation if you choose well) makes them all the more desirable right now. “

I hope there is a video of this somewhere.  A big shout out to mostserindipitous:
