Check out Ebay item 140385679995

I don't think I'll be bidding.

==AM==There was a guy in my area who was very proud of his Mk3 Spitfire with
its externallly mounted (ala "Continental kit") spare tire. I suppose it did
free up some space in the boot and possibly afforded a bit of collision
protection back there, but I always preferred that "look" on Morgans and '55
T-Birds. ;)
This lovely car -- more accurately, much discussion about same -- has been
"making the rounds" on various Internet Forums, and the seller has ultimately
joined in the conversations. The car looks to have been reasonably well done,
but I suspect George Barris and others need not feel too threatened....
Then again, maybe it's not any worse than the 2.5L Triumph Herald pickup
currently on eBay UK:
110492820998 if you're inclined to peek!

*Man: Well, no ... It's not so much of a jet, it's more your, er, Triumph
Herald engine with wings.
