Hi Mike -

We had the MG version (MG 1100) of this car in the US. It was the first of my car pamphlets, in 1963, and my first automotive passion.

I thought it looked familiar.

Great! I sat in a new one back on a dealer's sales lot in the 60's.. Couldn't believe how nice it was. I was a newly graduated engineer and the price was about equal to a yearly salary. But I was getting married in a few weeks ________

Did you ever buy a Porsche?

Did you ever buy a Porsche?

NO. But I did own a Triumph TR3a and an MGB plus 2 Karmann Ghias at one time.

I believed a wife was more important than a car but did call her my sports car often. I was married for 35 years to my late wife and 21 and counting to my present wife.
