There is a photo of the Macau Spitfire on page 32 of the Oct/Nov '95 issue
of Triumph World taken at a July '95 TSSC meet in Stafford, UK. The caption
notes it is the 'original' Macau Spitfire and now lives in Switzerland. It
is noticeably different from the photo in Richard Newton's Triumph Buyers
Guide, e.g.: bumpers, wheels, windscreen, wheel arches, fairing behind
driver's seat. Newton claims it was built in 1965 from parts leftover from
the Le Mans effort. There are no license plates visible on either car.
Sorry if there is nothing new here - I've missed out on some of this thread.
Rod. '70 TR6 CC55899L
