Welcome to the world of British Sports Cars
I bought my first Spitfire New in 1969
It was great, but my wife got pregnant with our son in 1971
had to sell the Spit, couldn't afford 2 cars in those days
and it was too small for us and the baby
When the baby graduated from high school in 1989 my wife and
I decided that we did most of the work of raising him and
were responsible (in some little way) for his graduation.
We decided to buy ourselves a graduation present. We bought
a 76 Spit, and have been restoring it little by little since
then.
Well enough about that
Parts can be obtained from (among others)
Victoria British Ltd.
Box 14991
Lenexa, Kansas 6685-4991
Toll free pone number in US and Canada
1-800-255-0088
I'm sure there are lots of other suppliers, I've dealt with this
company several times, and have been very satisfied.
Happy Motoring
DON
PS The baby has since spent four years in the US Marines, is
married and has a baby of his own, as does his little sister.
Time flys when your having fun.
