We're considering getting a toy car to putter around in (and with) and basically we've got it down to one of these:
Alfa Romeo Spyder (any vintage)
Fiat Spyder (any vintage)
Austin Healey Bug Eye Sprite
Triumph TR4 or TR6
MG A
MG B (but pre-big bumpers and smog crap)
I know that's a varied list and I know about the issues in dealing with 40 year old cars and british and italian electrics. All that aside, does anyone have any insight on ownership of any of these cars? A big factor for me is fit, in that can I actually fit in the cars. I've sat in the Alfa Fiat, TR6 and MGB and know I'm okay. But I'm wondering about the Sprite and the TR4. At 6'6" that would absolutely be a deal breaker (and a heartbreaker as I've LOVE a bug eye sprite).
Any insight is greatly appreciated here. Just want to test the waters among my esteemed PW friends before I head out to other forums and start asking noobish questions.
