Jigsaw racing are currently working on a project to build a faithful replica
of a LeMans Spitfire, using hand formed alloy panels where appropriate. I
have seen the car as it develops at several Triumph shows this year, and it
does look very impressive. Jigsaw are manufacturing fibreglass copies of all
the panelwork, or they will produce alloy copies to order - take a seat when
you ask them for a price! I understand that the correct 8-port heads for the
1147 engine are also being reproduced elsewhere. Now if I had a lot of spare
money which needed a home......
Cheers,
Bill.
