Handles great

not much

'72 Spitfire — It is not mine anymore. I spent 4 yrs on a total frame off restoration. Painted as WWII Supermarine Spitfire. It was a blast to drive, and my daily driver for a long time. I'd love to ahve it back!

Fun fun fun

Fiddly roof

Comedic — Not the most comfortable of interiors but why does that matter? Weirdness by today's standards-eg strange door handles (flush fitting). The roof: now here was a problem, VERY fiddly. If I remember correctly the sound of the engine was worth everything if anything all contained in that very cool forward-hinging bonnet :D

Rebodied Toy — Great little simple car. Rebodied in the 70's. Now very light and quick + free road tax in the UK
