I bought this car 6 years ago after a long search for a solid, original example. It has two previous owners. I have avoided going down the sports/ performance route and wanted to keep it as original as possible while making subtle improvements for reliability. The only exception to that is the new stainless steel sports exhaust. I have a huge paper, photographic and digital record of the restoration too.
This is not your typical Spitfire which has been restored/ bodged by an amateur enthusiast. All critical work has been done by professionals. It draws much attention when its out - only on dry days! Recent TSSC valuation of £14, 500. Please only call if you are a serious buyer looking for a top quality restored Spitfire at this price.
