I guess that all you real sports car drivers look at my 1960 A-H Sprite 
with hostile and some what critical eyes, but it does have narrow tires as 
well as bug eyes.  It is certainly light and handles very well.  At 55 on 
the interstate it gets 55 mpg not bad.  It is really a primitive vehicle, 
British of course.  I have loved it from the day I got it in 1960.
