Careful, they don't specify which model Spitfire the hardtop trim is for.
Better make certain that they carry the seal for the earlier Spitfires. My
guess is they don't -- but I hope I'm wrong. It would make a lot of people
happy (myself included) if a source for these seals could be found.
Best wishes,
