Interesting. That wasn't the case around here (Canada).
I've owned an MGA since 1970 and all of the people that I know that owned  
them back then were men. 
 
I also owned TR-3s and there was no difference in ownership with  them.
 
Must have been a regional thing.  Many more Spitfires and Midgets were  owned 
by women.

Yes, the  MGA was considered a "chick" car.  When I was in high school 
and  college in the '60s, the only MGAs I knew of were owned and driven 
by  girls.  In perspective though, I had a TR3B back then and ran around  
with other TR and Healey owners - plus one guy with a Porsche  
Speedster.  The first guy I knew that had an MG had an early MGB.
