Closest I came to a Spit, was a TR4A-IRS and almost bought a Triumph Stag while in England. But the astronomical price of about 4500 Can. dollars put me off. Wish I had it now. :-( If you watch the BBC series "New Tricks" on PBS you can see the Stag that one of the characters drives. It had the Rover V-8 (which was really the Buick aluminum V-8) from the 60's.
