So, I love my classic Lancia but she can be a difficult thing. If not used regularly, all kinds of stuff happens and while it makes every ride an adventure, it can be a little annoying when you just want to go out at the spur of the moment. May be that is more of a reflection of my maintenance rituals, but there we are.

I absolutely love the classic look and "feel", but perhaps a little more reliability combined with the ability to work more easily with today's driving conditions would be my perfect combo? Slightly sacrilegious I know, but it works for Eagle and their lovely Jags.

Are there any other classic bodies hiding some more modern working underneath?

I'd love a classic Alfa and found these guys...

Anything else similar that PH knows of?

LOL. We're not actually debating that 911s don't look similar are we!? Of course they do, and to be fair to SD he makes that quite clear. We're talking old school body with newer mechanicals whilst still retaining originality. That means interior, etc.

For the avoidance of doubt, I have a "new" 911, so quite clearly it doesn't fit the bill I was contemplating.
