First the MG and Spitfire question. Do you want to deal with or learn 
about the independent rear in the Spit. Is one of the cars smogged? And 
do either have rusty bods? I would go with a solid early car and 
problably the Spit cause I like a frame under a car and for ease of 
maintenance.
GT6 smoke question: Have you considered bad valve seals or guides. These 
will smoke more at start up. A compression test will check good on 
these.
Hope this helps.

Cheers,

PS: To those who have asked I have a tuned port injected 305 V-8 out of 
an IROC Camaro in my Jag XJ6. More Power and better mileage than the 6.
