Well, it has some other British metal for company; a 998cc morris cooper and a Landie with a 4.4 AJ V-8 Jag engine hidden under the bonnet. These need a little fettling to be perfect, a little money spending and more time spent driving them.

I will be interested to hear what you decide to do.


I feel the same way Howard. Went to see a Huracan, what an awesome car but not even enough luggage space for a weekend away. I've had Porsche 911s before because they straddle the GT/Sports boundary and are very useable as a result - but the last three generations have left me cold. The new Vantage looks interesting - controversial for some, but to me the Mercedes engine is a benefit, not a drawback.

But then again, why do I want to drive too fast or impress people when an MX5 would give so much for so little?
