KISS my trad 4/4 - KeepItSimpleStupid might apply here - the more there is to go wrong, the more likely it is that something will go wrong.
I met a guy and proud owner of a 90 year old M3 at the recent Lustleigh Show here in Devon a few days ago. Immaculate and very original - finished in grey. Both octogenarians we lamented the fact that our knees were giving out. His hope was that he would still be around to see his pride and joy machine reach 100 years old.
At 83 today (Happy Birthday to Me ! ) I won't be around to see my 4/4 reach its 100th but it still drives as well as the day I bought it and someone else might get the joy of seeing that day arrive.
