That DNA also includes shuttle shake, questionable 'handling', the traditional suspension systems, skinny tyres, small rev happy engines and the knowledge that the trad has been built in virtually the same way as it was over 80 years ago,
You are not being consistent. In the spectrum from old 1930s car to modern car, all tha has happened is that the trad in the form of the plus 6 has been moved on a bit. The Trad you have is not an old or classic car - it has modern mechanicals even if the chassis and running gear is archaic. The Plus 6 modernises the runing gear but the construction and style and aero etc are all from the 30s. The lack of any sensible luggage space for example. The lack of proper windows. The use of wood. The location of the engine.
The Plus 6 is not a modern car. The Trad is not an old car. Both are a sanitised pastiche of a 1930s roadster. But it looks as if there is a good demand for just such a car which is great news.
I might even buy one myself if MMC get rid of that horrific gear lever and gear box. Currently the plus 6 with that gear lever is like a picture of the Mona Lisa holding an I phone. Totally incongruous
