Junior,
Have you flown a C150, 172 or 182?
If you have, then find a 180/185 to do your training in - you will appreciate the familiar flying characteristics & being in a familiar cockpit. You will also find a 180 or 185 quite 'spicy' enough, challenging, capable and fun to fly once you can do it well.
The Chippie is the sweetest flying aeroplane I've experienced and one of my favourites. I think once you can fly a 180/185, you will transition to a DHC1 fairly easily and have more headspace to learn the vagaries of the Gypsy Major, that oh-so-British cockpit and, of course, aeros.
