Interesting. That wasn't the case around here (Canada).
I've owned an MGA since 1970 and all of the people that I know that owned
them back then were men.
I also owned TR-3s and there was no difference in ownership with them.
Must have been a regional thing. Many more Spitfires and Midgets were owned
by women.

Yes, the MGA was considered a "chick" car. When I was in high school
and college in the '60s, the only MGAs I knew of were owned and driven
by girls. In perspective though, I had a TR3B back then and ran around
with other TR and Healey owners - plus one guy with a Porsche
Speedster. The first guy I knew that had an MG had an early MGB.
