Akhil, It's the only traditional British roadster since 1934
that the USA crash & emmission regulations hsn't killed off
by 1968 that is handbuilt and still in production. Most of us
boomers who started driving in the early to mid sixties craved
one driving our MG's & TR's & Healey's.

In today's world, who would seriously consider buying a 60's
engineered car where you had to adjust points & carbs at every
3000 mile oil change and worry if it would run for that 200 mile trip
without a mechanical glitch when you can hop in your Miata or Z
roadster & drive coast to coast with no worries your car would
stop when you hit a large puddle & moisture cracked your
distributor cap. 

Ask a young kid to look at an M & they'll ask where the LCD screen
is & where is the memory card slot  & USB port is  hidden.
You might relate to handbuilt M's the same way as a cult object of desire.
