It's not the 50's or 60's anymore. The days of the XK120, E-Type, MGA, MGB, Bugeye Sprite, TR3, Lotus Elan, etc. are gone. And that's not such a bad thing. But there still are desirable sports cars available to the public. Even now in North America, one can shop for Twin Turbo RX-7, S2000, MR2 Spyder, Z3, Boxster for reasonable prices that offer the "sports car" experience".

No argument here. The advanced technology incorporated in today's modern vehicles make up for a "drivers" shortcomings. But there's always a Caterham Lotus Seven if one desires the "real" experience.

Or maybe a TVR.
