Listers,
While rummaging around on www.ebay.com, I came across Item #561779232 -
described as a "1978 Triumph Spitfire IV". The pictures show what looks
like a Federal spec post '77 body (post '77 column switchgear, too), with a
'Spitfire IV' badge on the bonnet and missing centre armrest and kneepads.
According to the seller, the commission number is "fm70546uoc", which would
make it a right hand drive (!) federal _and_ Californian spec 1978 Spit
1500 with overdrive. Yet there is no mention of overdrive in the ad and no
overdrive switch to be seen on the pics. Also, the owners stresses the
point that this car won't pass CA smog tests.
What is this? Another 'bitsa' Spit?
Cheers,
