"I had a 92 Miata...It certainly reminded me of my first car, a 69 Triumph TR6..."

I went through a similar evolution, owning first, a '66 MGB, then stepping up to the MX-5.

It was nice to have a roof that didn't leak, enough BTUs so you didn't have to decide between defrosting the windshield or heating the interior, and no oil stains in the driveway :-)

I put a set of really soft, gummy Pirellis on that car, loved taking it to some twisty backroads in the hills of Pennsylvania...

If you do not still have an MG (pre 1974, of course), you are traitor to the Queen. The MGB was the finest car ever produced. It inspired poetry.

Drive an MGB
Drive the absolute best.
Drive 'bout a mile.
Walk the rest.

The myths about MGB unreliability are just that: myths! I have owned several MGBs that went literally hundreds of carefree miles between total overhauls. Miata? That's jap-lingo for "Pansy."
