Why is it that virtually every spitfire website or publication, or even
folks generally knowledgable (ie: half the british parts folks I've dealt
with) always tell me that I am wrong about my car?
I have a 1967 Mk II. Everbody tries to tell me that I must be mistaken, and
that by 1967, only mk III cars were made. But I have a 1967, VIN 67FC81359L
(I have since added overdrive - I understand that cars with factory OD
usually had that indicated in the VIN?).
Are these rare? Why do so many british car "experts" think I don't have
what I say I have?
I even have an 1147 engine - could it be that this is actually an earlier
car that took awhile to first register? How can I find this out? I have
the original plates (it's a black-plated California car), so my registration
has been continuous, but it shows 1967 on the paperwork . . .
Somebody please tell me I'm not crazy . . . or confirm my wife's diagnosis
of me!
