Great British sports cars continue to this day although the prices of an Aston Martin or a Jaguar are beyond the reach of most of us. In their heyday British sportcars could be afforded by a much wider range of the population. Bearing little resemblance to their American cousins, the muscle car, the diminutive sportcars were designed to nimbly dance around narrow British country roads at a fair clip while hugging the road and providing the amateur car enthusiast with an exhilirating experience. With the building of massive, long and straight motorways, the British sports car was no longer in its element. These cars were designed for nifty moves on small roads not for three hundred mile slogs on endlessly boring concrete highways. Nevertheless British sports cars are still around either through devotee rebuilds or as built new by the huge conglomerate auto companies eager to seek out the car entusiast of yesteryear.
