My experience with british sports cars was happy, I loved them on the days they ran and on the days I sold them. Ironically the FIATs I replaced them with proved to be both more reliable and cheaper to run. I still own two Spiders (his and hers) as well as a Porsche from my father. The car I owned and curse myself for letting go was a 1967 Willies with three on the column, I wish I had kept it as the body was great and the flat four ran well, it is in the same class as he smaller rovers
