Regarding the Elan, I disagrre it is not nicer to steer and handiling wise, the original chasis and the spiders chasis improve things the differing rear drive possibilities. Of mass produced british cars it is better, but then throw in what Europeans were doing then you have a whole different set of cars to compare to.
But the Elan does have pretty lines and was driven by Diana Rigg in the Avengers....
The Lotus Elan predates the MX5 by 25 years, is nicer to steer and the engine sweeter...
I agree you sit too high in the MGF. Nostalgia still keeps tapping me on the shoulder and telling me to get one tho.
