Mark Thompson asks about improvements to pre-1500 Spitfires.
Certainly a camber compensator for those Spitfires with
swing axels is going to help.  In many places (well at least
when I ran auto-x on Long Island, NY in the 1970s) a camber
compensator was REQUIRED on swing axel cars to avoid the
severe wheel tuck that otherwise occurs in the sharp type
of turns encountered in auto-x.

As for other things, there is a world of improvement things you can
do, but Mark needs to be a bit more specific in what his goals are
for the car.  eg. handling, power, appearance, maintainability, etc.
