I had a quick look at the pictures and the lights you mention do not appear original . Sorry . I'm not really familiar with US spec Spitfires , but AFAIK , there should be two sets of small round li

A 70 is different than most MK3's, special in many weird ways, the lights are supposed to be there, and the backup light is integrated into the licence plate holder. The only thing I havn't been able

Goofy things on 1970 MK3 Spitfires (These are on mine, many changes were made throughout 1970, some are not on mine) 1) Special Hubcaps (Just try finding replacements!) 2) Backup light is in the lice

I had a 1970 when new and I think the inner two round "lights" were actually reflectors - probably in response to a US DOT requirement for more reflective surface (in square inches) than the flat par

Hi Chuck, I saw this car being sold on eBay. Congratulations. Your car should in fact, have the dual line brake circuit already. Those began in mid to late 1967 on the Mk3 line. Your tail lights are

Are you sure about the MC, I'm pretty sure that it is only a single chamber? There is a distribution block mounted next to the MC which takes the one line from the MC and splits it, one to each front

Just a guess here but I would think that the your red inner round lens are extra reflectors to conform to the US regulation (kind of like the extra ones, although rectangle, that they added to the '7

Looking at the spitbits catalog, the dual MC is definitely what I have. I'm going to have to take a long look at the brake system tonight. The MC is not leaking as far as I can tell - there is no new
