1296cc, runs with two twin Webers, stock pistons
and crank and an up-rated camshaft. The car had
an extensive rebuild after a serious accident at

The year-long rebuild included the replacement
of the old swing axles, a new fuel cell, an
up-rated fire extinguishing system, steel
bulkheads, adjustable racing shocks, a new rear
quarter panel, new doors with steel
reinforcements in them, and a new Mk 3
bonnet.

"Basic
G-Production Spitfire: Mallory ignition (no
crank fires... too many times the sensor goes
hay-wire) You'll note all the brake cylinders
and clutch are enclosed due to the complete
Tilton assembly, which had to carve away half
the bulkhead.. therefore had to recovered.
Fuel pressure gauge and Holley regulator can
be seen on firewall...alumininum radiator
(with electric fan.. too many years of
sitting in hot false grids)...I try to keep
the expensive Aeroequip to a minimum"

"We have had to modify, for safety reasons, the
rear suspension using 280 ZX constant velocity
joints and half shafts. We have used the
original transverse leaf spring, pumpkin, and
all the original pickup points to remain vintage
legal. The car is still a 2 liter but I have
gone to a TR6 gear box due to the horse
power."
