Sports Cars Vs Kilts

[BruceK]

Ok, I will throw my 2 cents on this one. Qualifications are 17 years auto repair on English and German autos 1968-1985, Certified Journeyman rated mechanic.
A sports car is a two seat fixed or drop head coupe. In america that woud be a two seat hard top or convertable.
Examples: not inclusive

Triumph TR6, TR4, TR3, Spitfire, Stag

Any vehicle with more then 2 real seats, could be a sports sedan whether two doors or four.

Oh for the days long gone of real sports cars,

Minor correction to the above. The Stag has four real seats and can easily carry four adults (so long as the ones in back are short if the soft top is up... ). On a good day I guess I'd call it a sports sedan, though tourer is more accurate IMHO. I like my wife's Stag, but I have much more fun driving my TR6.
