After a few months without my spitfire, i finally yesterday bought a late
model MK3. nice feeling to drive a spit again, though i didn't remember
there was so much rear noise at 60 mph. Its a nice red model, without the
triumphbadges on the boot and front (due to beeing late MK3)and virtually
no rust. Just a little rust peeking through rond the frontlights, thats
all! ((at least to my knowledge) I think this car is a good car, though I'm
a bit concerned about this rumbling from the rear. I'll have to gett the
wheels balanced to see if that will solve the problem. End for now, I'll
take a roadtrip for the rest of the day ( did 100 miles yesterday, and got
a sunburned nose)
