<div class=yiv1124707862MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">It had a lot of meaning to me because my brother bought one back in 1964 and I think owns a Sprint currently. While we knew guys who owned MG-TD, MG-B, MG-A, A-H 3000, and even an Elva Courier cars and enjoyed jaunts and admired them all, the little Elan seemed very special albeit fragile and finicky.. Come to think of it, weren't all of the British roadsters finicky, fragile, yet special? It was part of the experience of ownership and still is.</SPAN></div></DIV>
