To put it simply - I agree with you. I am a bit of a purist at heart as well.
I have frequently been given advice with my truck on how to make it go faster by completely modifying it.... in my opinion, modification destroys the soul of the vehicle.
That said... it is on 12 volt, has bigger profile tyres, has an after market oil pressure and temp guage and has indicators.
It even has one working headlight which I guess would have been blanked off during convoy work in WW2.
I like to think I did these to improve the vehicle to keep me safer on the road..... in a world of fellow modern motorists with which I have the delight of sharing the bitumen.
My thoughts... as a contribution to the discussion.
