I'll add my vote for a TR6.

I'll also add a vote for a Bugeye Sprite. There are still good "driver" quality ones around for under 10k. I almost accidently bought one for 6k in July, but my wife nipped that in the bud.

I can't even imagine buying a Spitfire over an MGB. MGBs aren't great, but they are charming and fun to drive (as long as you aren't going far, and the roads are good). Do Spitfires have any redeeming features?
