<David,
Let's make this more managable by discussing the strengths of the British
designs.
1) They look really nifty.
2) They often have a removable/replaceable top.
3) They often hold two people comfortably.
4) When they run well, they sound really nifty, and feel great to drive or
ride in.

Yes,
5) If you were at a red light in a $75,000 sports car, some people wouldn't
give you the time of day. In a cute LBC they will go out of their way to
strike up a conversation to tell you about when their "uncle Bob had one" and
how much fun they had.
6) You also don't have anything to prove when that light turns green.
