Never had one, but really like the Scimitar. It was on my 'list' for a prospective daily driver along with the MGBGT, and Triumph Vitesse.
When it was time to purchase, both the Vitesse and Scimitar prices had increased too much, so it was only the GT that was affordable. It's a great all rounder, fun to drive and can still do a 'tip run', Only downside is the lack of true rear seats.
Not the fastest, but never really seen the obsession with buying cars that can do ludicrous speeds. Quick enough to make it fun, and the suspension upgrades means I don't need to slow down for the corners. Get around 30mpg which makes it viable for the commute (just!)
