This is interesting. A second check of the books shows no US market
GT6s with the spoiler fitted. Any listers out there got one ??

Well if nothing else, it will look "cooler" ;-) Seriously, it can't
hurt. I would SWAG that it does help direct air into the radiator, at
least at speed. All (US) Spits came with the wider radiator
1 year after the spoilers were fitted across the board. This would
skew any cooling comparison of these models.
So Martin, does your '74 Spit have one ??
