David,
If you follow this argument then you can make a WWII Jeep to be derived from
a British design!!
They (and the Jeep) developed far enough away to be divorced. There is no
doubt the Miata is a nice little car, there is no doubt it has a nice
history but there is no doubt the Little British Car is not a Japanese
vehicle. G*dd*m it!! They don't even leak oil (usually). :-) How can it
be a LBC??
