I don't know why people sell their foreign cars.  I am selling my
spitfire because the baby's car seat wont fit in it.  It runs good.
It DOES get 40 mpg on the highway.  I have also owned a '73
340 Plymouth Duster with 4 barrel carb, air shocks, heavy duty everthing,
and a zoom clutch that you needed 2 feet to keep down.  It was
fast but only got about 12-15 mpg and that was only when it was
running half way decent.  It was a lot of fun, but I can't honestly
say that the Spitfire was any less fun.  Having owned both I
can summarize by saying: In a quarter mile straightaway give me
the max muscle car, but on a curvy road I'll take a stock
Spitfire, MG etc. over anything detroit makes (sorry vette owners,
but that includes you too).
Of course if money is no obstacle (and I mean NO obstacle) then you
can have the best of both worlds ala Porsche, Ferrari, Lambor ghini (sp),
jag, sigh Well you get the idea.
