$7500 for a 1980 Spitfire! lord have mercy! I'm totally impressed Jim. It must have been in concourse condition. Will you get a different car now or are you out of the game? Best Wishes Zahid ps: Wai

A few years ago the differential on my 1980 Spitfire 1500 ran low on oil and developed a whine around 3200 rpm. The same thing happened I think to Jim Muller's car. I just topped it up with oil and p

I have noticed that in winter my 1500 engine does not heat up to operating temperature at all when I'm driving. At best it goes halfway and stays there. Stationary, it does make it to the correct tem

I recently took the muffler off of my 1980 Spit 1500 in an effort to remove the header and found things were rattling in it. On shaking some of it out from the pipe I saw that these were ball'ish loo
