[Spits] Looking for a Spitfire Mk2 or 3 door

[Joe Curry]

It all depends on what type of handle the door has.  About half way through
MK2 Production, the latch was changed.  So if you have one that has a handle
that turns, it is the same as a Mk1 Door.  On the other hand, if it has the
push button type, it is indeed the same as the Mk3
