Joe
I stand corrected ... again :-)
If you look at fig. 1 on page 6 of the original Triumph Spitfire 4 Owner's
Handbook and at the photos and drawings that appear in the Autocar Road test
of 19 October 1962 the straight dash pad are clearly shown on these early
cars .
My oldest Spitfire ( FC 2218 ) also had no dash pad , but I guess it should
also have had the straight dash pad .
Kind regards .

Chris,
I am particularly interested in very early cars. My street Spit (Huxley)
has a dash pad that is straight all the way across. And there is no evidence
that is is anything but completely stock! The commission number is FC4505L,
so it appears that these early cars were different. That is what I am
investigating. If my assumption is correct, I want to see what the
change-over commission number was. I suspect that at some point someone
realized
that there was a problem that extending the pad would solve.
Regards,
Joe
