I am not sure that I share Tony's view. If one takes the currently accepted view that 'classic' means 30 plus years old, the three vehicles that comprise the Stepney fleet of rare and interesting vehicles all fall into this category.
Whilst I am total agreement that no-one should be using any car, let alone a classic one for going on a 'jolly', I can see nothing wrong with using such vehicles for one's essential travel. Indeed, I have found over the years that using any vehicle on a fairly regular basis is the best way to keep it in good running order. Nothing mechanical likes being stood around for weeks and months without being used.
Current;y, the Series 3 Landrover is used for the heavy jobs - fetching coal and animal food, with the Polo and (less often) the Seven for shopping and going over to the horses and I see nothing wrong in this.
If this were a letter, rather than a forum post, I would be tempted to sign off thus:-
"I am, Sirs, your unrepentantly (etc)"
