A state of mind from New York State... Mike, when you cast your mind back over the Sports Cars of the forties and fifties, the kind that ran on your father's road course, I'm sure there are none that could be mistaken for at Touring Car.

No Allards looked like a Cadillac coupe, for instance, and the difference was great... none of the MGs could ever be considered related to the Morris range, and nothing in the Morris range could possibly be called a Sports Car.

Today the marketing people and the design people have blurred all the edges...
