I would refer you to the Allegro vandom plas.  

1975 They couldn't make too many of them because of the "insatiable" demamd, 1980 A joke 1990 worthless, 2000 not quite worthless. 2010 moderately interesting to a select group of mentally ill people. 2021 ditto.

I predict that in 2050 the MG3 will have a cult following.
