Oooh, parallel parking in Westminster'd be great fun with that! As would the look on the face of the guy at the petrol station as you pay your £500 for a fill-up...

It looks rather simular to the car 1.20min into this clip.

to ensure that the engine operates properly under differing throttle and road conditions.

Hardly a good enough reason imo. How did they manage in the 1930s ?

p.s. this will scare cats and wildlife no end 😉

The roads weren't as busy so cars wandering around five minutes after the throttle has been cut wouldn't be ploughing into children's faces.

If modern reliability was a serious issue/need then a modern car is the obvious answer. I wouldn't put seat belts in it either, as another example.

I understand where you're coming from, but I can also understand that having a car like that which would start first time every time* (leaving the rest authentic) would be very appealing

Well I think old cars which crank continuously until they slow right down, before firing up accompanied with a few obligatory misfires, is very appealing. And several failed attempts before finally bursting into life always adds to the excitement value imo 🙂
