This perfect little time capsule of a roadster, soaked in heritage and oozing nostalgia, might just be the ultimate feel-good car. Not only because it makes you and your passenger whoop with joy, but also because it sends out a bow wave of cheer wherever you drive it. I've never experienced anything like it. At every junction we were met with thumbs-ups, air punches, endless smiles of appreciation and even clapping. People filmed us on their phones and called out from their gardens.
