I always thought that British cars up through the 1960s and even early 1970s were the most fun and interesting cars in the world.
Hence one of my perpetual problems: I tend to buy cars because I think they are interesting. Guess what happens then.
When I was a kid in California in the 1960s, MG and Triumph were the cars to have. I did manage to get an MG 1100, which was a small sedan (a bit bigger than a mini) rather than a sports car, but a whale of a lot of fun to drive.
But the Japanese and Germans won because the British cars weren't reliable. Same for Fiat in the U.S. market. On my MG, I once went through five fuel pumps in ten months. I finally got rid of it when the transmission went out -- at about 35,000 miles.
But I still haven't learned to stop buying cars because they are interesting.
