The local autocrossers had a 1098 Sprite that was bought by new comers and
sold a year or two later as they learned to drive. It was promoted as too
slow to make mistakes and shortened the learning curve for keeping speed in
corners. I din't fall for that and put a built TR6 motor in my Spitfire. I
would come out of the 180 spins with the tires a-smokin'! Yee-haw
