OK, Now I have to wonder whether you wrote that in support of what I said or
whether I said it so badly that you misunderstood what I thought I was
trying to say ;-)
I agree with everything you say. Yes, "historical significance" would be a
better way of expressing it. I was quoting the previous poster and taking
issue with his statement that there was no "historical value" to a 1969
Sprite. hen I said "historically sad", I was not trying to slam the car, I
was pointing out that the historical significance that is attached to that
model has many sad connotations since it represents the end of so many good
things... the relationship between Austin and Healey, Sprites being shipped
to the US, etc. Not a whole lot of celebration.

OK, maybe 72 is a historically significant Midget, since it is the first
model year for the RWA ...
