You raise an interesting point as they didn't tell us about skin cancer in those days, did they!!

While I'm in a similar situation, I keep in close touch with my dermatologist, slather on 50+ sun block and enjoy my 128i cabrio & motorcycle. Luckily for the past 15 years, it's been only pre-cancerous lesions which are easily dealt with.

BTW, since you are avoiding the sun - you might get checked for any Vitamin D deficiency.
