I hope everyone saw the Buyers Guide in the Feb/Mar (or is it Jan/Feb?) issue
of British Car. It is on Sprites and Midgets. Rick Feibusch writes the
page, and he is a regular lister on the team.net MGs list.
I had to quote one paragraph that sorta sums up what we do here, because I
found out that some of you (and you know who you are) don't get British Car!
Rick is talking about how you could buy a used Miata daily driver for near
the price of a similar condition Spridget.
"The BMC buyer has to really want a Sprite or Midget (or an MGB for that
matter) for reasons of nostalgia or an excruciating over-abundance of good
taste rather than buying one of the few entry level roadsters available. The
market is smaller yet is considerably more enthusiastic."
Thanx, Rick. That sounds like us.
