Bill,
 
IMHO.....I prefer the last of the "roundtail" Spit's - the 1970 Mark  
3.....the front bumper was raised enough to be a little more effective yet the  
soft styling was still maintained.  The engine was still strong enough to  
have a lot of fun with (pre USA emissions stuff).....

I drive TR's and am not very familiar with Spitfires. I have a  friend at
work looking for a good restored Spitfire. Are any years better  than 
others?
Did they rework the rear suspension at some point to get rid  of wheel tuck 
&
hop? Any engines better than others? Does anyone have a  good Spitfire on 
the
West coast that they would like to see go to a good  home?
TIA,
