Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself

just because you do, doesn't mean you should.
My first car was a 1966 Ford Anglia estate, which was a total pile of shite. My old man bought it for me, and the engine was in bits in the back of it, which he put together and dropped it in. It broke down so often that it would have been easier and quicker to walk, and when someone wrote it off by hitting it up the chuff on the motorway, I couldn't have been happier.
Mind you, I did later buy a 1972 850 Mini Van that had been hand-painted black, and since then I've never understood the appeal of a Mini. It leaked that much oil through the driveshaft seals that for 18 months I never bothered changing the oil, I just hoovered up all my mates oil changes and poured it in the engine. Not that you could reach the oil filter to change it. I hated the thing with a passion but couldn't afford to buy another car. I remember driving back from a gig one night at 1am when the engine seized up due to a burst hose. I was tempted to leave the fucking thing by the side of the road and walk home, but a mate of mine eventually towed the bloody thing back for me. Starting it was a well-timed sequence of throttle, choke, and sheer luck. The steering would suddenly lock up on occasion, and when I sold it for scrap, I breathed a sigh of relief.
Yes, you might be able to get an old car going again, but the chances of a modern car breaking down are far less, and given the choice, I'd have a modern car every time.

It will be the basic spec you desire and fairly reliable.
