On the subject of the press and how they view British sports cars, you should read the TR8 review in Road&Track magazine when the cars were first released. They loved the car! And this was in spite o

I love MGBs, or I should say I love the old ones. '63-'67 US models are totally cool. '68-'74 are ok. Models after that, I just can't say I would want one. Why wouldn't someone just buy an old Miata
