James,
In the last two weeks I've seen four Spitfires, 1 MkII, 2 MkIII and 1 1500,
not including mine!
These were spotted in Docklands, Hackney and Barnet. You might have seen
more in Chingford a few years back because we used to hold out TSSC meeting
there!
Even on reconditioned starter motors you can find that a lot of the
components are 'tired' as they haven't been replaced in 30 years, you may
need to take it back under warranty.

| Other than that I don't get much. What I am dissapointed in is in the 2
1/2
| months Ive had it I havent seen a single other Spitfire to flash my lights
| at - not one. Ive seen a Herald - and the guy looked at me in a funny way
| when I gave him a grin - he was stopped right next to me in traffic going
| the other way. A guy in a Midget 1500 flashed his lights and waved at
me -
| and I waved back and turned the wipers on and washed the screen
| simultaneously - I had only had the car a week and was getting used to the
| controls. But no Spitfire. Am I the only person in either Bromley or
| Chingford who has a Spitfire and actually drives the thing? Maybe summer
| will be better.....
