My opinion on a "successor" to the TR3 would be the Z3. To me, the Miata
is more in line with the Spitfire.

In all honesty, I consider the MX5/Miata a worthy successor to the TR3,
given the safety and emission constraints of today. I'll never own one
myself, but I've ridden with a friend ... my biggest objection (and the
reason I wouldn't have one if it were given to me) is the huge upper bar
on
the windshield, which is basically required to meet rollover
requirements.
It's otherwise quite nice for a "cheap" open sports car.
