Hi Michael, 

Sadly the market for spitfires still isn't up there with its bigger
brothers.  I'm betting it will change over time though.  I have to
admit, this 77 is surprisingly solid. I fairly certain its been garaged
for most of its life.  At least thats how it looked to me!

Enjoy your spit and by all means go for the 69.  You can check mine out

Enjoy!
