The sometimes mentioned requirement that a sports car has to be high powred sure wasn't the case withe these cars. The MG TD only had about 60 HP.
I have driven almost all of these cars from this era and owned an Austin Healy. Some back then even said they weren't sports cars any more when they added glass roll up windows and eliminated the plastic side curtain's.
So Chuck, to be a sports car you have to leak oil, be hard to start, and break down on a regular basis. I had a lot of them too and loved them.
Back when I was a teenager the standard reply to someone dissing your ride was: RACE?. Boulevard Cruiser? isn't that some bullshit term that Suzuki coined?
