- I have been a fan of the little Spitfire for years and have built a number of them. I really like the early ones with the little bubble tail lights. Compared to the MGB they are really 'primal' if t

- Hmm, I wouldn't say a Spitfire is any more "primal" (in the sense of simple or primitive) than an MGB... they're really almost perfectly comparable in terms of technology. If anything the Spit is mor

- More like a Midget than a B. The 1500 Midget (75-79)uses the engine and trans from the Spitfire 1500. Of course, I think the spit is a little longer than the Midget. Mr. Tegler may be the one to bett

- Overall size-wise, closer to a Midget. Narrower cockpit than a B, but a LOT more leg room than a Midget. Suitable for longer-legged drivers, it does have that sitting-on-the-floor driving position; b
