Mind Greg, the badge is red and blue and when it isn't faded is actually
quite pretty. I have photos of it and its location on the bonnet that I
will post as soon as I figure out how to encode them.
Also for those folks needing info on the '70 Spitfire, Vitesse, etc. I
bought the loose leaf factory shop manual in 1970 when I bought the car and
will be glad to look up and share info from it.
