Hi Mike and Richard,
I'm the lurking Cambridge Spit owner...
Spit 1500 '75 Blue, Sophie..
I am a member of the TSSC mainly for the cheep insurance, mind you they were
very
helpful when I visited to look at an 'untouched' spit to work out how the wiring
loom fits after I had part finished the restoration..
Sophie is used as less than I like as I only have to cycle 1/4 mile to work!
Looking forward to more weekends though once all the houshold DIY is finished!
Cheers
Tim
