Hi
Perhaps the availability of re-manufactured parts (from cherished suppliers) is a kind of barometer to the future. I had a Mk1 Mx5 a couple of years ago and was surprised by the number of firms breaking and making bits for it. I now have a 1984 Mercedes 280 SL, again there are a number of firms making new parts.
What's more you only have to watch "Car sos" on More4 to see some fairly recent cars getting the rebuild treatment.
That said with my own fairly meagre skills set I'm not sure I want to do any major work on anything post 1970
