That is crazy, Spitfire record? I have no idea, but never seen one near
that price.  As a general aside.  There are lots of cars with very nice
looking paint, interior, and engine compartments, what seems to make high
dollar collectors go crazy is the better than factory perfect and
impossibly clean undersides.  I have never understood why the part you
normally never see and which you will mess up terribly if you want to drive
the car at all can shoot up the value so much.  But then again I wouldn't
buy a car just to park and display.
