My first great car out of college was my 73 malaga e9! Bought in 1984 when I got my first "real" job. Quite an upgrade from a Triumph Spitfire!
I cant believe you had a Triumph. I had the pleasure (one I still dream about) of having a Spitfire IV, as i recall. I was buying and selling cars to put myself through college and my rich buddy needed his car sold and wanted 800.00 for it. It ran like a top. If I sat any lower I just remember having to focus on not feeling any pain that might come when my buns were riding the white lines down the highway. But it rant so well. I am actually looking for one... albeit passively. I know nothing about e9's but love the photos like these. Need I point out... a lot more sporty than my 4-door box that I love so much.
