I was looking for an MGB or Stag last year, to make good on a promise made to my wife when we married in 1979 to "buy her a sports car one day."
I worked on both the MGB and Stag during the 1970's as an Apprentice, before joining Jaguar Cars. Remembering the "good old days" weren't really so good where cars are concerned, I bought her a Mercedes SLK.
We've put around 4,000 miles on the car since and, having never really been over interested in owning a sports car, it really is very pleasant and quite impressive to drive. In addition, it has a 15.5 gallon fuel tank and achieves some 48 mpg as driven by us, so in today's troubled times with fuel shortages, will travel a very long way between fuel stops!
