    My old man built a chimera out of a triumph spitfire and tr3 that was the cutest little thing. All swoopy, curvy body with the original leather seats and wire wheels, sounded like thunderous hell coming down the road and did 0 to 60…well, it usually did 0 to 60 if you asked really nice. But holy shit was it a pretty machine.

      I’d love to see a picture! You definitely buy a British car for the looks rather than the speed haha. My Midget has some sort of aftermarket exhaust it came with, and it sounds amazing working it up through the gears, even if you’re only doing 50 by the time you’ve hit redline in 3rd.
