It's a 1972 Spitfire Mk IV with 1296cc's of rubber band twisting power through a four speed gearbox. It's a typical "nice from afar, far from nice' car. It's sat at the back of my shed since purchasing as I have had too many other projects to finish. Now that there is more space, this has been dragged forward. This wasn't a car I wanted, or pined. It was just at the wrong place at the wrong time for very little folding. I was going to just on-sell and buy a Cortina, however unfortunately funds didn't agree. Thought I'd better make it earn it's keep now that there is a bit more room in the shed. It's sat since 2014, so I can expect out of round tyres, stale fuel, seized godknowswhat and other such pleasures to be sure. Please excuse the lines through the photo - the phone died very shortly after this. Things to achieve WOF / make it run / dort: Cut obvious rust out and glue new metal in. Look at Motor. Aware of dodgy fuel pump etc. Make run. Replace all fluids. Check all nuts and bolts. Do a skid. (actual results may vary) Profit. Wonder if I can get this done for Hanmer....?
