I had a Jag Mk X like that once. Hard to insure on an airman's salary, but it sure was nice while it lasted.

Jags are nice but pricey to fix and insure. I had a 63 E Type. Talk about heavy gage sheet metal. Wish I had it today. Had a couple MG's too, all Midgets. Like a go-kart on the street.
The 3d printing is really neat stuff but I don't see it becoming mainstream in my lifetime.

It is already mainstream in many places of our world. The odds are you probably have used something that was prototyped or made with 3D printing. GE makes turbine parts with them. In China they have started making houses using 3D printed cement. In May 2015 Airbus announced that its new Airbus A350 XWB included over 1000 components manufactured by 3D printing. One very good use is in making custom prosthetics. They are starting to make replacement forearms and hands for the disabled using this tech. It saves thousands and is much faster to make.
From Wikipedia: There are many applications for additive manufacturing technologies, including architecture, construction (AEC), industrial design, automotive, aerospace,[70] military, engineering, dental and medical industries, biotech (human tissue replacement), fashion, footwear, jewelry, eyewear, education, geographic information systems, food, and many other fields.

the impact of 3d is already rippling through the industrial section notably in the patternmaking fields for one as in displacing , just as the 4 & 5 axis cnc has done to other areas. Me I am just a relic of the past industrial processes now days. ( and that doesn't even count our throw away society)
Course when that almighty high falutin shiny wisbang rig goes south- guess who has to fix it.
