I've a Defender, a '66 VW Beetle, a Fiat 500 and a Volvo XC40 with adaptive and predictive everything and I'll only take my kids out in the latter. Heritage vehicles have their place but they're harmful to the occupants and harmful to the other party in an accident. I wouldn't use one as a daily for that reason.
One interesting thing about the Beetle is that despite retaining the same basic shape and construction over the entire run a lot changed to significantly improve relative safety: collapsible steering columns, the change to Macpherson strut suspension, door handles with the opening mechanism shielded in a roll-over and so-on.
