Great! I love those LeMans and especially the Macao Spitfires. I wonder
how much it set him back? Too bad he didn't have it in time to show it at
VTR2000 here in Portland.
Gee, a nice project would be to take a "beater" Spitfire and make it into a
replica of a Le Mans or Macao Spitfire. Well, I guess I just added project
number 197 to my Triumph "to do" list (I'm currently on project number 10).

For all of you who didn't already hear, AUD4B (the LeMans Works Spitfire)
was purchased recently by VRT VP Member Services Vernon
Brannon. Although he hasn't picked it up yet, I'm sure he will give it a
good home.
It's good to see the car in the hands of someone who is a dedicated Triumph
enthusiast and although Vern said that he doubts he will
actually race it for fear of damaging the aluminum body work, he is
considering taking it to events and doing some demonstration laps
to show it off.
I wonder if we can talk him into bringing it to Breckenridge, CO for next
years' VTR? :)
