Advertisement Posted September 19, 2008 Posted September 19, 2008 Hi mark_goode, Take a look here Spitfire being restored. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Guest flatfour Posted September 19, 2008 Share #2 Posted September 19, 2008 It's amazing what gets restored nowadays. We used to sell them. Nightmare cars for waterleaks and rattles but a good thumper of an engine, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaapv Posted September 19, 2008 Share #5 Posted September 19, 2008 Looks like a USA version 1500 overdrive. Ventilated disks seem a bit over the top, given the rather modest performance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark_goode Posted September 20, 2008 Author Share #6 Posted September 20, 2008 I thought you meant the airplane! (sigh!) Fooled ya! ;-) I too wish he had a Spitfire (airplane) in his garage. Now that would be WAY cool! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artichoke Posted October 6, 2008 Share #8 Posted October 6, 2008 looks like they are doing a fine job with it I love the wooden instrument panel ...I did not realize the Spitfire had this Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark_goode Posted October 6, 2008 Author Share #9 Posted October 6, 2008 Cars are OK . . . but they don't fly, at least not intentionally or with much control ;-) I too prefer the Spitfire airplane but alas, Brian didn't have one in his garage.
