I will soon be painting my 1963 Mk1 Spitfire. The Thomason restoration books states that royal blue was introduced as a Spitfire color in 1964. Does anyone know if this color was available as a spec

Bill, I'll guess that your Spitfire is an early enough one NOT to show paint and trim codes on the commission number plate. Am I correct? If so, then you've very little to worry about unless you want

Get out the old letter punch and give it a whack! If you find the right font, it will probably be ok since I haven't seen a commission plate yet that has a perfectly straight array of nunbers. :) Jo

I've been told that many a dealer swapped in an OD in his shop, just to make a sale. Therefore, if we apply the "off the dealership floor" standard, then an OD with a no-O Commission plate could, may

So when I finish my 73 TR6, which will have J-overdrive, would you notice if the commission number on the com.no.plate did not have an"O" at the end ? would you deduct points for that ? if so how man

Sounds good to me! Now if I can convince someone that the MkIV full synchro OD tranny in my Mk1 was a "Dealer installed option" I'll be well on the way to entering my first concours judging! But then

Notice? Probably. (I tend to look at numbers a lot.) Deduct points? No. Overdrives were catalogued options and could have been added by a dealer to help make a sale, or shortly after to keep a custom

Hi Andy, So if I added the proper D-type overdrive and wire wheels (as they would properly appear on a Mk2) to a Mk1 Spitfire, I wouldn't lose points? Would all other judges concur? Bill Brockschmidt

You shouldn't. And hopefully any given judge would concur. If not, though, the VTR juding system is set up so that at least all judged cars in a class are treated equally. On rare occasion that might

On a 30 year old car they get a lot less concerned. When I licensed the TR3 one document said 57 and the other one said 58. All they cared about was were the taxes paid? Dave
