Needs a spoiler on the back end to keep the rear end on the ground.

Today, I was behind an MG Roadster, like the one below...
I thought it was pretty cool, until I read the license plate: "Antique."
... I wasn't sure whether that applied to the car, or to me.

Ferrari made (and still makes) tractors as well.

Back in the early 50s I owned a Turner. What was a Turner? It was an English two seat sports car with an all fiberglass body except for its doors that were thin sheet metal. It had an 803cc Austin A30 Engine (I think it was the same engine used in the Morris Minor). Although mine cost me less than $2,000 I saw one sold the other day for close to $25,000. Before I shipped out to Korea in 1954 I sold it to two guys from Harvard who won a number of Sports Car Club of America road races with it. I don't know for sure but I'll bet there were less than 1,000 of them imported into the US. If you are curious you can pull it up on Wikipedia and see pictures...

Don't you wish you could go back and reverse at least a couple of the decisions you've made?! I'm sure you wish you still had that Turner and rue the decision to sell it when you did. I've got my share of automobile decisions that I'd like to reverse -- one being when I sold my '67 Mustang 2+2 Fastback for a song. I know my Mustang doesn't rise to the same level as is being discussed in this thread -- but that car has since become a classic nonetheless and I simply didn't comprehend the gem that I had when I sold it.

Oh well, to quote Kurt Vonnegut -- "So it goes".

I once had a Honda lawnmower
... or maybe it was a lawnmower sounding car

Sold my 63 1/2 MGB for $300 in 1972 when I needed the money for my first house. My wife insisted on buying the house because our 1 bdrm apartment apartment wasn't big enough for one child and one on the way. Sometimes women don't understand a mans need for toys.

What's even more amazing is that $300 would make a difference in buying a house! Oh how times have changed.
