Hi Dan,
My opinion is it's an early '72. I think '72 started at commission number
KE/KF10001. While engine numbers usually don't match commission numbers
exactly, KF10676UE is far enough past KE/KF10001 to fit in as a '72. You
might be able to get more info from the frame number, as those ran
consecutively throughout GT6 production. www.triumphspitfire.com has a lot
of info on the production numbers.
'73 started at KE/KF20001, so it certainly isn't a '73. '73 also had non-
rotoflex rear suspension.

Well, the Spit6 Project car is resting comfortably in my driveway here in
Savannah, From the Commission number, the body is from a 1978 donor car.
How do I determine the age and vintage of the engine? VB doesn't carry the
engine numbers as a guide. The engine number is: KF10676UE. Both the
spoiler and the bonnet indicate that the donor engine and chassis is from a
MK 3. 1972 or 1973? Any ideas?

I have an opportunity (?) to purchase a 1972 GT-6 MK3 cheap. It's been a
while, but do they require leaded gas to run? If so, how do the listers
cope with that requirement?
