I would completely agree that frequent use and constant attention are the principal requirements. For attention, perhaps little and often. Luck does also come into it however. My Ruby, so well put together by the sadly missed Ian Bennet, has behaved very well indeed. The three occasions when I’d had any sort of failure, blown head gasket, loss of camshaft locating stud and total coil failure, all took place within a quarter mile of home. I pat it on the bonnet, and say well done!
