Abstract
The romance and the reality - A warm summer evening, a two-seater soft-top and the open road: the great British sports car plays a pivotal role in many an idyllic motoring dream. But are these machines as much fun to own and run in real life? We look at seven of the most popular models to find out.  1930/38 Frazer Nash Chain Gang, 1957 AC Ace Bristol, 1968 MG C, 1969 Lotus Elan S4 SE, 1969 Triumph TR6, 1992 TVR 450SE, 1998 Lotus Elise SI.
