Ford Fiesta and the MGB GT

Some friends dropped over for dinner and parked their 2012? Ford Fiesta in front of my 1967 MGB GT. It’s a very green Ford Fiesta as you can see. What also is very evident is that it looks a bit like a green jellybean. I’m sure the Ford is more aerodynamic, likely gets better fuel mileage, is far safer and probably is a lot quicker. That is what 50 years of evolution in the car business will do. Which of these cars would you rather own? I suppose having both would be the perfect scenario but just don’t expect the Fiesta to go up in value or become a collectors car in the next hundred years.
