All of the 1980 Spitfires I've seen had the hood latches painted the same
color as the body.  That's one way to tell them from the '79s!

I echo Laura's (and Nigel's!) comments - great site!

I noticed that the bonnet catches on the '80 Spits were painted body color.

Was
this a late factory change or just part of the advertising?  Anyone know?
