Midget vs Spitfire

Based on no knowledge, Spitfire.

Here's my Spridget running away from a Ferrari.
I laugh at Spitfires with their wobbly back axles and primitive horse-cart frame.

Spitfire- looks so much more awesome.

Spitfire for looks and name.

Spridgets for everything else that makes up a car. Unless we are talking rubber bumper 1500 Spridgets, then the Spitfire would win on styling.

Ha, tell that to Steve Sargis!

Spitfire. The Spridget is way too cramped, any car that I have to reach BEHIND me to get to the inside door handle just ain't gonna get it. The Spit has enough legroom for me, longer doors and it just looks so much sexier. Plus I know how to make 'em handle, aeronca.

Spitfire - GRM RoSpit splease!

They're small. I'll take one of each.

And yes, I have owned 3 spridgets and 1 spitfire in the past. One of the spridgets was far from ever being street legal.

I like the Midget- looks more businesslike. And I've got a 4age powered one that goes like hell.

I'll vote Spitfire, GT6 would be my choice.

Bah! I might take a Spridget over a Spit if it's like this one:

More businesslike or more boring.

It is a Spitfire for me.

Spitfire wins

I'm seeing more and more Spitfires in the boneyards. I have always liked them but were either unavailable, or out of my price range (but then again, I was younger). Are there any sources for fresh sheet metal and interiors for these cars?

Yes. Victoria British has a lot of stuff.

Yup. You could darn-near build a Spitfire from scratch if so inclined (insane).

Spitfire-- Family had MkIII, IV and 1500s growing up, learned to drive in them.

And I do remember my Dad replacing u-joints on a moderately regular basis-- especially after hauling 300 pounds of frozen beef 500 miles back from my grandparents in the trunk.

Had a Stag too...
