Danno77 said:The only car I have regrets about not getting was this MGB-GT that was for sale locally a few years ago. I didn't have the cash at the time, and I found out real quick later on that $3k for a car in its condition is hard to come by. MGB-GT (BTW) was also designed by pininfarina, same company that designed my Spider.raybonz said:That commercial rocks!! I think those Fiats are pretty cool looking myself.. I owned a MGB roadster with electric overdrive long ago and it was a blast to drive if I could keep it running lol.. Almost bought a TR-6 and regret that I didn't as I still love the looks of the TR-6.. I would think the Fiats are much more reliable now than they were back in the 70's.. They have been all around Europe for a century and are still popular.. Keep us posted..

Love the look of all British cars.. The Austin Heally 3000 was another favorite.. I was disappointed when the TR-7 came out with the wedge shape as it lacked the style of its predecessors.. Mechanically the British cars were good but electrically (Lucas Electric) they stunk! Mechanical lifters stunk too as they required adjustment.. Todays cars are so much better by comparison with so little maintenance and so much power and way better handling..

P.S. If you find an MGC (6 cylinders) or Triumph TR-250 (made for 2 yrs. before the TR-6) grab it as they are rare..
