My dad regularly says his '91 Miata reminds him strongly of his old MGB and his Sunbeam Tiger (both owned in the late 70s/early 80s), with the only exception that this one actually runs. If you're looking for a little roadster this is what I'd recommend, unless you're looking for a rare auto like the Midget or T-series. One of my friends has a '54 MG-TF and it's in beautiful condition, but its idiosyncrasies and special parts make it a bugger to maintain - I still haven't seen it on the road yet.
