I always loved that car and now I own one once again. I am in the process of having engine and other work done on the car. I am in need of parts for the gear box and transmission and other parts. Wanted to see if any of fellow Spitfire owners have parts available and/or can recommend where I may acquire them. I am aware of Spitbits and eBay. Also, I am looking for someone to refurbish the interior of the car. I live in San Diego but I am willing to send the car for refurbishment within a reasonable distance of my home. Any and all help or info is greatly appreciated. Thanks so much. Hope everyone has a great New Year! John Stoia -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Spent the morning in the driveway with my GT6. If you want to drive up to San Pedro CA, next to the port of Los Angeles, there is British European Auto - https://www.britishcar.la/ - Our club has had a couple events at their shop and they seen nice. Also recommend connecting with your local Triumph club: http://clubs.hemmings.com/sandiegotriumph/ https://www.facebook.com/SanDiegoTriumphSportsCarClub The local clubs have very helpful people with a wealth of knowledge and resources. There used to be a British car shop in your area, I think a little north of San Diego, but I can't remember their name.? Had a nice talk with them at a car show 20+ years ago.? The local club should help if the shop is still around. You might also want to contact Moss Motors and see if they have a distributor shop in your area.? It is always nice to have a place to run for a small part you forgot to order.? The shop may stock common items or can order your part as part of a bigger order and save you shipping.
