[quote Filliam H. Muffman]After I got about halfway though it, I was going to say I did not see examples of the GT6 and TR7 (yeah, not MG but still 
) but the latter briefly appeared near the end. Did I miss a version of the former?
My two favorite small pre 1970 UK cars to drive are the Sunbeam Tiger and Lotus Elan. A GF had a Cortina, but it overheated all the time and I did not have a place to work on it to fix the problem so she sold it for a Pinto (out of the frying pan, into the fire?).
About 39 seconds in you see the rear of a red GT6, I used to have a white one that I restored. Had to totally lift off the bodywork from the steel chassis. Great fun!
There were a few TR7s as well as a couple of TR8s.
No Tigers or even the smaller engined Alpines but there were at least three of the old style Elan from the 60s. No Cortinas.
