I was talking to the mechanic who works on the family's Plymouth van and
Saturn sedan, and he seems to feel that interest in our British roadsters
is soaring right now. They're affordable, fairly easy to source parts for,
and he feels that they are coming back into vogue in the United States
currently. Who knows? I do feel that mainstream America wants a car that
is pretty much hassle free and not demanding mechanically, and beyond that,
there is a real market for a good sports car. Another opinion, for what
it's worth. Nina
