I don't trust modern cars at all with all their electronics and code! In 80 years time will anyone be wanting to restore old Toyota Priuses do you think? And if they want to, could they?
I'm sure that future generations will find a way. Future restorers may even marvel at the crudeness of the electronics!
I suspect that a greater problem will be the structural integrity of the cars.
Three or four years ago, I foolishly agreed to do some MOT repairs on a friend's mother's Metro Van den Plas. it was (and still is) a really tidy low mileage car but I nevertheless spent six weeks putting new floor pans, heel board and inner and outer sills both sides and painting everything to match!
