Air pollution regs kicked in for 1968 build. Albeit very limited, the SU car=
b proved a bit difficult to lean out and that=E2=80=99s why Spitfires from e=
ither 1969 or 1970 model year used a single Stromberg. My personal opinion i=
s the Mk3 Spitfire with the 1296 8 port head is the Best Buy, hotly followed=
by the 1296 Mk4. The 1500 engine is positively athsmatic and has always had=
breathing issues in standard spec. No doubt there will be howls of protest i=
n favour of the 1500 but the many I=E2=80=99ve driven over years - rebuilt/c=
ared for/completely knackered - were all the same, I.e. seriously disappoint=
ing and that same engine in the Midget made that great little car something t=
hat is best forgotten.
