It's not a real ****** is a human response to change. In the MG world, it happened when the OHC cars were 'Nuffielded' and made 'boring'. It happened again when the 'streamlined' TF replaced the TD - when the MGA replaced the T Type. Again when the MGB came along without a chassis. Then when the Metro/Maestro came along. Then when the T/TF came along - and the saloons. None were 'real MG's' in context. For several years the MG Car Club excluded post '55 cars from its events............
So there is no doubt that this would have happened when Mogs sprouted a fourth wheel. And to those immersed for years in the Trad culture, the Aero will be beyond comprehension.
Some people won't change, and that's life I'm afraid.
