Take the badge off and not many people would guess porsche (four dot headlight help but body lines don't do much).
Daily sports car?

I picked ones that show off the colour. Front end is just a google click away
I’ll say I’m not a fan of the new grill but it’s not as bad IRL as pictures IMO. Also it wouldn’t stop me from buying a new M4 if I had that kind of throw away money. I’m sure the refresh in a few years will tweak it to look better.

A little heavy to be considered a sports car but would be a good daily. The previous owner obviously ****** someone off so the inside is a little customized but still probably drives nicely.

From 35k down to 21.5k is a big drop.
If you wanted it to drive and your OCD was low, you could avoid fixing most of the damage and just enjoy the noise (not as good sounding as the AMG merc though).
Pics or it didn’t happen!

Spitfire are interesting cars. Super easy to work on, faster, better handling and more dependable than there's sisters MG and Austin.
Also best setup for restomods. Lots of chassis and repower options. Restomod early thoughts are using a CTS donor, 270-300 hp, 6 speed tremtec and posi diff -- beaters show up for less than $1500.
Should be enough for an 1000lb roller.

Love the front clip of Spitfires. Fun on the back roads too.
I‘m on the hunt for a TR6. A few members are getting to a certain age and might be able to pick up a decent driver with little work.

I don't know why British cars intrigue me -- I've owned a few of them and should have learned they take a lot of fixing. I used to repair them as a side hustle when I was younger, no local shops would touch foreign cars back then, and the Leyland dealers were stupidly expensive and slow. I got pretty good at pushing smoke back into wiring.
I had a TR6 for a long time, it was a pretty good car -- and much faster than Spitfires and MGs. I
IMHO, not many British cars are worth restoring - including TR6 and Spitfires. Repair them, drive them, or use them in a restomod.
Exactly why I love Brit Cars. They are a cheap hobby and can be enjoyed. Parts are easy to find and easy to work on. The electrics are easy enough to manage now. Electronic ignition helps. Only issue is the same for everyone. Chinese quality aftermarket parts look good but, might not work out of the box or fail after a summer of driving.
Unless you go with an E Type series 1 then, even hunks of rust are nutty prices. And most won’t drive them to events outside their neighbourhood. A friend buggered his front clip of a 62 E Type. $40k repair.
Triumphs and MGs are dime a dozen and look the business. And like some old bikes, feel like they are going 100 mph when they are slower than a minivan.

Same color as my 71 GT. Also had a 75 was converted to GT V8 at Abingdon motors.
Damnit…here comes another rabbit hole…
I don't want a $170k automatic DD. Too much power to have fun on the street. Auto is faster than manual but less fun. You can have a fun dd and a fast track toy for far less money.
I'm stupid, and because I'm stupid I'm considering another WRX for a laugh, or a GTI...or a GR86.
And if you get any of those in stick, they will be more than 100k cheaper and more fun on the street than a CS.
