You don't mention how much you want to spend, but TR8 roadsters can be
had for less than $10K. Sunbeam Tigers are $20K and up. I don't know
what the prices are for the V8 TVRs, but I'm sure it's $$$$.
If you can live without a V8, Healey 3000s can be found in the $15K
range. You can still get a good TR6 for $6K. Other fairly
inexpensive 6-cylinder choices are MGC and GT6. You could always get
a 6- or 12-cylinder Jag E-type, but it'll cost ya.
In the 4-cylinder range, Lotus and Jensen-Healey come to mind first.
Of course, you can also throw your money at your Spitfire engine, or
swap in a GT6 engine.
