Welcome Michael
Recently I covered 460 miles without aches between noon and midnight, the hood did leak a little, it is the traditional studded type. The 1600 returned 48 mpg and cruised at 80.
A two up trip to Bourges on the Loire last year was the high point of 20 years driving across France in a variety of cars.
The newer cars don't need much improvement but you (and passenger) need to embrace Morganeering, if you can do that you will not find a finer car
