[Fot] Selling my spitfires

[Mike Harmuth]

Looks like a great price, good luck with the sale. Too bad you're not on
the East Coast, I know a guy near Boston looking for just this car. I raced
a formula car (F440) before I bought the 64 Spit and I prefer the Triumph
hands down. So much more room, less finicky in the setup, cheaper to repair
and run.

my 2 cents
