In my research for the Spitfire Database, I learned that before those works
Spits were shipped to the US, they did not have commission numbers.  Because
of some arcane rules that required that the cars must have actual production
commission numbers, the cars had commission plates pulled from the then
current production.  But the cars were built much earlier than their
commission numbers reflect.

The VTR mag.

Shawn, could you submit this for me? Or it could under your name, if you
wish.

FOT,

Mike Cook had a nice article about the 1965 Spitfires being at Sebring.
However, I think there was one innocent oversight in the reporting.

While the factory may have prepared the Spitfires, it was Kas who ran the
team. Kas secured the drivers and was the Team Manager at Sebring.

If I am wrong about this, I can stand corrected by Mike and/or Kas.

I thought it was worthwhile mentioning. I did kind of a mental double take
when I read the article.   BTW, Mike reports that he will be joining us at
Summit Point. We are looking forward to seeing him there.

 had a nice article about the 1965 Spitfires being at Sebring. However, I t=
hink there was one innocent oversight in the reporting.=0A=0A=A0=0A=0AWhile=
 the factory may have prepared the Spitfires, it was Kas who ran the team. =
Kas secured the drivers and was the Team Manager at Sebring.=0A=0A=A0=0A=0A=
If I am wrong about this, I can stand corrected by Mike and/or Kas.=0A=0A=
=A0=0A=0AI thought it was worthwhile mentioning. I did kind of a mental dou=
ble take when I read the article. =A0 BTW, Mike reports that he will be joi=
ning us at Summit Point. We are looking forward to seeing him there.=0A=0A=
