My ‘8s have always been daily drivers (as was my ‘57 A35 van and my ‘52 Austin Somerset). My current ‘8 (a 2002 FE S8) has been my daily driver for years and has 192K on the clock.
Cars are for driving IMHO so enjoy them while you can! The ICE is fast being demonised and phased out (as well as the fuels to run them) and new cars are being fitted with all kinds of wizardry to make the driver surplus to requirements and lessen the driving experience.
Enjoy your ‘8 knowing that this is a pleasure that future generations will never know.
