I doubt the old one will be running in 40 years, despite the fact that its probably a lot better made.
The original mini is still running because its so damn simple. No crazy electrical system to go wrong, and 5 million or so were sold, so there's lots of bits around to fix them. The new one is too expensive to ever sell in those numbers, even tho its an excellent car.
I'll have to give my car a wash and take some photos of it in some nice light for you guys.
Next time I take it out to the track I'll stick the camcorder in it as well.
