You could say 83 years out of date. It was well and truly superseded by the end of the 50s let alone at the beginning of the 2020s. ...

No doubt there will be plenty of classic restoration work on rusted out 1930s-2010s chassis vehicles, and they deliberately kept the wood in CX to keep the woodshop busy. I dont think tours will be affected!

I am one who *would* consider a CX (/Elise etc) but not a new trad (sliding pillar suspension? that was out of date in the 30s! grease points?) although I doff my cap at the owner-maintainer community for as long as they exist! A £35-40K CX would still make a Mazda MX look like value, but would be relatively affordable versus a Focus ST etc...
