Amici,
I am working in the Dover / Durham New Hampshire area this week and came
across a 1978 Spitfire for sale.
The car body is absolutely solid but the car has been repainted. I crawled
all over the car yesterday. This is the driest Spit I have ever seen. The
interior is in good shape as well. As the car sat in a barn for five years,
all of the fluids have been flushed out and replaced. The engine did not have
any noticeable knock or valve train noise. I didnt get to drive the car
because I had to get to a dinner meeting.
The guy selling the car is Laurence Oliva who owns Oliva Motorsports. They
race BMWs in SCCA and World Endurance (?). Anyway the guy is a road racer
since 1971. He is selling the car for a friend and his shop did all the work
to get the Spit back on the road. His phone number is 603-767-1389. The sales
email address is sales@olivamotorsports.com. The asking price is $3999.
If my job situation was better, I am to let go at the end of the year, I
would buy the car for my 15 year old son. I wanted to put this info out
there. Maybe one of you knows someone looking for a car.
Thumbs Up.
Steve
