This is the biggest problem with old cars, they get ignored until there's none left except the expensive well kept versions. All the rest were flogged hard and then wrecked/stripped.
If you want a well kept old car buy one on the cheap around 15-20 years old and put it in a shed for 10+ years
Looking for one already old is a 20k question, or settling for one of the examples that people in the know aren't touching with a bargepole.
It's hard to find anything good after 20 years. I noticed heaps of mercs and BMWs from around 1990 that I was interested in 5 years ago are now already mostly gone. Nothing but wrecking ads for them now and even the e39 and e38s are following the same pattern as I write.
