I actually saw an NSX on the road today. Rare sight indeed.

Land Rover series 1 / 2 / 3

Land Rover Defender

Volkswagen Beetle / Camper van ( transporter )

Citroen 2cv

I'm sure that several communist vehicle manufacturers such as Lada / Skoda / Trabant / Morris ( Marina ) had production runs of models that lasted for more than a decade.

I'd say no car has remained unchanged for a decade. As with many things, a lot of detail changes add up to a lot.

Probably the closest thing was the S2000 or NSX, but look more closely and you'll find a lot that ISN'T interchangeable between late & early cars.

Because of the Baukastensystem, a lot of G-series 911 parts could be retro-fitted almost back to 901s, so I suppose you could (desperately) argue that a 2.2 litre 901 is the same car as a 930 Turbo. Despite just about every bit being different...

Kind of like Vicarage Jags; I can see what they're trying to achieve, but is misses the point of owning a classic car somewhat.

It does.

You'd be hated in some circles too.
