No, I'd probably hate one. But then I own a Miata, which is what the
LBCs (Little British Cars) should've been in the first place. One of my
friends races a Triumph Spitfire. After years of thrashing with the
Spitfire engine and suspension, he swapped them for the same items
(engine, trans, front susp, rear susp) from a Miata. The only thing
left that's original is the bodywork. But no more thrashing, and it's
running for every event. Quite a different experience than the "all
original" Spitfire he started with. :-)
Is the Miata drive-train homologated for the Spitfire?
I've driven both the Sprite and the Miata - I'd rather have the Sprite.
I can change gears without crashing my knee against the steering wheel
when I lift off the gas in the Sprite.
And I ain't that tall.
