Trevor:
I gotta disagree with you. What you are describing (with respect to a
driver's entire body view) best describes a TR3, not a Spit!! Yes, Spits
are a 'poor man's E-type' and are smaller, but they are actually quite
roomy when compared to a Spridget. Perhaps not as roomy as a MGB or
TR4/5/250/6, but roomier than a MGA and similar to the TR3 in that
department.
