Hmm in the 70s from the age of about 9, I had eyes only for the Spitfire. Nothing else was as cool. BMWs were for old men. As soon as I got to 17 I bought a Spitfire and loved it until the day it got nicked when I was 25. I always knew they were just BL shite. But I didn't care.I think perhaps we have different points of view on what constitutes beauty. I see you had a yellow MG Midget. Very pretty, I agree, but hardly the thing to awaken the manic car-mania of a healthy, say, 14-year-old boy. While the 3.0 CSI probably would. If I may be allowed a sexist paragon, one is an adolescent Hailey Mills, the other is Jane Russel in her prime. Or, to avoid accusations of sexism, one is a youthful Anthony Perkins, the other Robert Mitchum. (Doesn't really work, though...)
Technology has given us cars that are too fast and taken away involvement/enjoyment on roads that are overcrowded anyway. All cars now travel at the same speed so you might as well choose comfort or style.
I loved mine, when it went. Mine was well down the food chain and hard work to live with. I wasn't sorry when it was sold. Great to look at but not much of a car.
Some nice roads around where we live; here's one just around the corner from Mr Lockhart's pad, & my car's pretty involving I'd say.Maybe where you live. Just fine around here, and I’d not want to hustle an old ferry like the big Healey on decent roads anyway. Ok to look at though.

It’s an Aston Martin Zagato, not sure which Aston it derives from (cba to check) but probably DB4 or 5 at a guess. Zagato as a styling house are a bit marmite, but I think they’ve almost always done well with Astons.The green one does not look Italian
