Randomly found this quote:
"It has not been forgotten, of course. Aside from still having many fans the
world over, the Spitfire was a major inspiration for
Mazda's MX-5 Miata a decade later. Mazda even used a Spitfire body for
stealth development testing of the Miata chassis -- a literal
fitting tribute to the TR's endearing little sister."
Is this true? If so, fascinating!
