Hi PTL,
Welcome to the forum. Like you, I like the A352.
If I were as concerned as you I would buy a Spitfire and try it out. I don't think you will be disappointed. A well-sorted Spit is surprisingly predictable, easy and cheap to maintain, and is a joy to drive.
If you can't live with it, just sell it. If you like it, get that A352 order placed.
A mechanically simple rear-wheel drive car can be great fun. Just get used to it before you try and drift your exit from a roundabout.
Grafting a Mini subframe to a Spitfire will require chassis modifications which means, "Go to IVA, directly to IVA, do not pass fun."
