I wasn’t aware that the final BC1s had polypropylene drivers. Didn’t the SP1s have poly, and the BC1s Bextrene ones ?

I meant the British built Quad equipment. No way would I consider the Chinese built kit.

I appreciate the MX5 is a popular car, but I never could get on with its shape. The MG-F looked so my nicer to my eyes.
