Marcus, one hardtop fits all Spitfires 62-70; the other fits all 71-on. Other than profile, the most obvious differnce is in the door window opening: rounded on upper rear edge on earlier cars, *squa

In the June 16 issue of _Old Cars Weekly_ is an article about the return of the Daimler (now SP290), a la MGRV8. Apparently the man who has been supplying bodies to restorers has now decided to manuf

Original tires on that vintage of Spitfire were 155SR13, usually Dunlop SP *something or other*, but often Goodyears appeared as an alternative. Quite honestly, unless you're looking to maintain an a

Quick question: the early TR7 four-speed gearbox. Is it the same (internally/ externally/both?) as the 75-on Spitfire? Would a Spitfire box bolt right in? What would be a ballpark fair price for a go

Olin, you're right. Any Spitfire 4, Mk.2 or Mk.3 diff will fit and should be same 4.11:1 ratio as well. Same goes for Herald 1200 diffs, if you should find same, or early Vitesse (Sports 6). Later di

Trunnions are a relatively simple thing to change on a Spitfire. Question, though: is it the whole trunnion that needs replacing or is it just the bushings? The latter is even easier. Some other poi
