By all means, fix the B up and drive it. The early cars are great
automobiles. You will have a car that sets you apart from the "mainstream."
Additionally, having a car like this will be a great learning experience.
They do break down, but fixing them is not that difficult. You will learn
how to repair cars. I got my first British car when I was 16 and first MG
at 18. I did all my own repairs and it was the equivalent of going to trade
school.
