I think you have a problem here. A '65 Spitfire was designed to be
driven (in America) by an ageing beatnik in a black polo-neck jumper and
beret. The radio should be incapable of playing anything other than
"Subterranean Homesick Blues," and there should never be anything in the
passenger seat but a battered six-string acoustic guitar.
In England, of course, the '65 Spitfire was intended to be driven by a
Michael Caine lookalike, in a tight suit with a three-button jacket. The
radio plays "I'm Alive" non-stop (except when driving under a bridge),
and any girl in the passenger seat should bear an unfortunate
resemblance to Cilla Black before the nose job.
As for your '74: flares, denim jacket, and "Devil Gate Drive" on the
8-track. If you can get Suzi Quatro in the passenger seat as well,
that's ideal!
