This is not a very representative list, consisting of granny cars. Most
UK cars are much nippier. 0-60 in 10 or 11 sec is more common.
My everyday hatch does 0-60 in 7sec and has a top whack of 127mph.
Let's face it, you don't buy an old sports car for performance. If you
want a fast MG, go for a new MGF VVC. If you want character, buy an MGB
or Midget.

Shame you don't drive them fast them! ;-)
