    Seeing as the only British sports car I've owned is my current '77 MGB I'll give you the advice that it's a good car to learn how to work on a car and requires regular maintenance. Of your choices I know I'd go with the Triumph, it's a cooler looking car (in my humble opinion). There's a lot of reproduced parts available for all the cars you've listed : http://www.victoriabritish.com/ http://www.mossmotors.com/ so that together with junk yards will help you WHEN it breaks down and WHEN something electrical goes out.

    They are fun cars though and certainly will turn heads, though I do wish my MGB had a bit more power so that it would be somewhat comparable to higher quality sports cars.

    Four stage strategy from Yes, Minister:
    Stage one we say nothing is going to happen.
    Stage two, we say something may be about to happen, but we should do nothing about it.
    Stage three, we say that maybe we should do something about it, but there's nothing we can do.
    Stage four, we say maybe there was something we could have done, but it's too late now.
