Can anyone offer opinion/advice on which early to mid 1960's TVR is the best choice for vintage racing? I currently race a MkI Sprite in the US and am looking for a replacement. Any information at all will be greatly appreciated, but I am particularly interested in handling quirks (if any), chassis strength/weakness, systems problems (brake, fuel), etc. I am also looking for info on the various engines offered during this time frame. I am familiar with the BMC A series from my Sprite, and have some experience with the Ford 289ci and 1600cc...which provided the best combination of power/weight/reliablity in the TVR? Thanks in advance.

Perhaps I should clarify: The organization I race with (VSCDA) allows production based cars up to 1972. For my purposes, however, the clock stopped around 1969.
