Driving it really isn't a problem. Once properly cleaned, maintenance is a simple wipe over when washing the car. My '75 is my daily drive - used in all weathers and the engine bay looks like this:

Any cleaning agents (Brasso; vinyl dressing etc) are always wiped down after application, so no worries about combustion. My engine bay has been (more or less) like this for 8 years now, and it hasn't caught fire yet (should I be saying that? ).
