Dear All,
Isn't it amazing how easy it is to forget how much fun a Spitfire is
when you don't drive one for a few weeks?
I had been toying with the idea of selling Carly, my Spitfire, having
recently bought myself a 4-seater classic Triumph convertible (which is
a very enjoyable car in itself). Today, whilst the 1200 was in the
garage having a full mechanical inspection and service, I needed to nip
over to TRGB to pick up a few parts, so I took Carly out for a spin.
Wow! A beautiful classic with fabulous cornering ability; excellent
acceleration; modern(-ish) information for the driver, and highly
responsive steering and suspension! I've just reminded myself why I've
spent so much time and money on my Spit. There is no way that I am
selling Carly.
