[Fot] TR4 Race Car For Sale

[RACER BUD]

Just to butt in a bit.....I'm proud of the fact that my Spitfire has been a 
race car(SCCA and then vintage) since the early 1970s(except when it was 
abandoned and then rescued)....When I look at my little Spitfire I see and 
feel history...racing history that has carried on through my most recent 
race(2011)...
So..it's about me and my car..that special relationship that goes beyond $$.
Racer Bud..Spitfire #21
