I may be off by a little, but doesn't it seem like one could purchase a
half-dozen Midgets, about four good running MGBs or a couple of TD's for
the price of even a base-model Cherokee or Outback? I think that a good
runner suitable for club events, weekend cruising and running a few cones
would leave plenty left over for reliable family transport. If you can
afford to drive a late-model car and you really want an MG you can afford
one. It's a matter of priorities.
