People do collect cars for the memories, but there are more reasons
such as performance, handling, and looks. British sports cars score high
in those departments which is why there will always be an interest in
them. When I drive by a school bus in the MGB kids wave and shout
things like 'Nice car!'. I bet that does not happen with a much more
pedestrian car such as the model T.
