Great cars and winners everywhere, despsite obvious drawbacks. How on earth did the useless management give away such a leading position and basically sink below the waves? Maybe nobody wants tiny low seating cars now.
After graduating I spent my "last free summer" travelling round the US on a special student visa, starting with a month as a waiter at a swish resort on Cape Cod. One of the bus boys had an Austin Healey 3000 and TWO surf boards. We had good times on our afternoons off. ( Deek, are you here? ) |

The Brits made some beautiful cars. Jaguar XK 120, 140, and 150. The XKE, 1955-1962 MGA's. Austin Healys, Lotus, and TR-3's. Not anymore unreliable than Italian and American cars.

Very cool! My second car was a '71 Fiat 124 Spider. These little old convertibles deliver a much more outdoor feeling than anything modern thanks to the windshield shape.

The '59 MG in my post above was a two seater, one night taking a girl home form a party with my buddy in the shotgun seat she had to straddle the transmission tunnel in a short skirt.
We were all a bit tipsy but I'll never forget her saying, "If you hit 4th gear like that again we'll have to pick out furniture together" |
