1. How old are you?
36 this week.
2. What English sports car(s) do you own?
'60 TR3A, '65 Spitfire, '74 MGB
3. How many have you owned?
Ten, including the three I've got now.
4. When did you first learn about English sports cars?
Drove around in a friend's TR7 in high school.
a) Did they run in your family (Dad, uncle, etc)
Grandfather owned a TR3A, but I was unaware of that until after I'd become interested in the hobby.
5. Why an English Sports car?
Like the character, size, cheap entry point, easy of parts availability, easy of working on, but also happen to love all things British.
6. Did you consider any other classics for ownership?
Yes, bought an '85 Ferrari as well, and would love to own other Italian cars in the future. Also plan to get into antique American cars at some point as well.
7. Do you have any hobbies that also relate to old things? (old houses, music, etc?)
Not really, though I have other British interests (food, music, television, travel)
8. What do your friends think about English sports cars?
Well, that's got multiple answers. My English sports car friends (those I've met through the hobby) obviously love them. My Italian car friends tend to like them also, usually in a "I remember those, they were fun" sort of way. My non-car friends find them cute and eccentric but don't have a ton of interest in them.
9. What does the future hold? Will more younger people find these interesting?
As long as they remain inexpensive to purchase and operate, I think there's a timeless quality that will always attract young people.
10. Will you still be driving these when you retire?
You bet.
