I Get the thing about not being your own, and haven't put your stamp on it.
But the feel of how the car drives and the back to basics thing to me would be the appeal, much the same with all classics. You could spend 100K+ on an old Ferrari and it would feel dreadful and be unreliable compared to any modern car. But it would feel very 'special' and give you a real 'sense of occasion' when you drove it.
A S1 or any of the 80's classics will never match up to a modern sorted scoob as a balls out performance car, but as a toy and weekend car, and something that you will only likely see once or twice a year on the road in any given one year would make the car allot more special than even the best of scoobs....
Scoob are a hard act to follow especially now that clean sorted scoob are also now starting to fall into the category of a 'classic'. But would still love an old ford or classic 80's hot hatch.
The only answer mate is to sell the Leon use the scoob as a daily driver parked up on the drive and get a S1 for the garage...
