I like your response, but also your collection.  Well, maybe except for the
MGB's.  Sorry, I can't help myself sometimes.

your car at all, will think its an MG, I have had countless comments about
both my Triumphs and Austin Healeys being MGs, as in "what kind of MG is that"
or "I used to have (or my brother or my roomate) an MG just like that", so the
joke may not be so much a slam of MGs, as a "fer chrissake stop calling my TR
an MG".

and Lucas Electrics and SU or Stromberg carbs and what not, built in the same
counttry for the same purpose in later days by the same parent company, to
make some export money and provide some good sporting motoring fun, and the
ribbing and joking that occurs these days is for the most part just that, good
natured jabs and jests.
