As a former MG Midget owner, it's better to admire from afar than have one in your garage. A blast to drive, but you need to ask yourself two things: 1. Am I a wrench?, 2. Do I have plenty of disposable income. The money spent on the motor and tranny can far exceed the value of the car. The tranny is tempormental.

The Tranny is temprimental! I remember pulling the tranny out of a spitfire probably 3 or 4 times because something was up with the clutch. Pulling the Tranny is a pain in the but it comes out thru the interior. It was my bosses car and I always got to work on it. I got to drive it a couple times as well. It was a fun ride. As I remember the tranny was the only thing that gave him problems. I would rather have a TR6 over a Spitfire, I always liked the TR6's.
