but not so much for the styling which was antiquated from the day it was born.

"You're right on the year, Lancer but weren't the Turbine/Star Wars wheels specific to the first Gen 99 Turbo models?"
I dunno, you tell me; I was 4.

yuck...the TD....you're breakin' my heart. Now why didn't you pick the far prettier TC? Or did you know that most MG lovers hate the TD?
I can't stand the TDs...the wheels are too small and really spoil the entire car. They make a charming car ugly to look at. 
What a difference the right proportions make!!

early '70's Matador (edit, ah it's a '72). Still see several around town here in SE Wisconsin - I live in the city where AMC lived.

I happily concede that the TC is the prettier car, I just happened to come across a good picture of a TD. As for which car MG lovers prefer, I'm under the impression that the TD outsold the TC. 
Here's another sportscar to sleep on...

That's also why a TD is worth less than a TC today by a considerable sum. Less rare and less attractive.

Shifty, how is the '55 MG TF held in regard by MG fans? My next door neighbor has one, and I've always found it to be attractive.

I like the 968, especially the convertible.. But, a NA 3.0 litre 4-cylinder was just a bad idea...
They should have made it a turbo...
