Aaron,
I think you are right. But there are so few of our little cars on the road
that the younger generation don't often get a chance to experience one first
hand.
My son for example decided that after I finished restoring my '63 Spitfire,
he was going to drive it. After I convinced him otherwise, he decided to
get one of his own. He drove a VW Fox at the time and now drives hes '66
Spit daily. BTW he's 21. So I think the ranks of you younger enthusiasts
are slowly growing.
