"It’s a pleasure. As I say, at my age, I’m looking forward to the day I can come and enjoy it because it really is a pleasure to drive it. And it’s really like entering another dimension. It’s as if you enter a time tunnel and, suddenly, you’re in the year 1912, driving at a different speed, but shifting gears with a lever, totally different. And the brakes, of course, from the year 1912, are different because there weren’t so many cars on the road."

"Well actually, it is a pleasure for me to drive it because I am an admirer of the industry of those years and what they managed to achieve with so many limitations, different from the technological ones we have now. But while there is a lot of technological advancement in modern cars, the principle of the automobile remains the same: The engine, the combustion and so on. Well now, it is evolving towards electrical and some other technologies, but the origin is this."

31. SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Guillermo Bianchi, car club member and representing friend who owns Leyland car:
"Maintenance? No, generally in these cars, maintenance is easier because they don’t have anything electric, so some old mechanic always knows how to work on them. You just have to be careful with the gasoline. Today’s gasoline doesn’t have lead, and when the cars sit idle for a long time, the current gasoline degrades and all the mechanisms get clogged. And, well, the worst thing that can happen to a classic car nowadays is that. That’s why you have to use them."
