I just had to get in on this thread too :-) Bob, the A styling is
distinctly in the 'babe-magnet' class - my university days proved that
point. Of course, the guy in the E-type just laughed. Anyway, 'sad and
slow' - I don't think so. There's nothing like the sound of an
accelerating twin-cam MGA at high revs to make a B or a C run away :-)
I do like the B/CGTs but I like the As better, especially roadsters.
Each to their own, etc.
