 Spitfire ... seems the 1965 Spitwad has a 1500 engine in it. Once I get it
sort of dialed in, I'm sure CVAR will let me run it a few events with the
non-period correct 1500. So... I'm in the hunt for a period correct 1296
(1300?) Spitfire engine. Isn't the small journal engine desired? High rev
potential? --Andy Mace

I admit that, as merely a retired Spitfire autocrosser and Herald nut, I know
next to nothing about any of the sanctioning bodies
and their rules. But a 1965 Spitfire (FC prefix if you still have a commission
plate on it) would have had the 1147cc engine originally!

*Man: Well, no ... It's not so much of a jet, it's more your, er, Triumph
Herald engine with wings.
