As a Spitfire drive I must protest! :-)

With the Sprite you do get a tighter uni-body.  But you also get 3.5 inch 
shorter wheelbase, a solid axle, a smaller trunk, and waaaaay less interior 
room.  Plus, if you're interested in the 1500 you get the Triumph engine 
anyway, but running with less power because of the different manifolds.  Oh 
and umm, no OD option...  But then, you drive a Bugeye so what do I know?

Just my two cents.
