The nostalgia movement with retro cars is the appeal of buying the one you
wanted and didn't have in your youth. (B-J auction as proof!) Minis and
Mustangs appeal to the teenagers of the late 60's and early 70's..the 45-55
year
olds of today... a pretty good demographic target. I'm afraid a 1950's era
retro
car appeals to a demographic that is much too limited. Ford played this out
over the past 5 years with the T-bird. If it took 3-5 years more years to get
a TR3 retro out, the throng of buyers would be even smaller sad to say. Now
if BMW could make the Triumph marque appeal to the sports compact tuner
market...
