Liv,
I understand my limitations and I do love Spitfires, so if I ever want one
to drive, (instead of being the passenger and navigator of my husband
Brad's) I would need an automatic.
Besides being extremely rare, the problem we have noticed with adapting a
Spit with an AT is that usually there is a hole in the hood to fit the
larger engine. It ruins the lines of the car.
I can understand the stick shift, sports car mentality but there must be a
market for it, for if you look in the car ads you will see that Corvettes
come with AT and that car has a lot more power than a LBC!
I will most likely get a 64 1/2 Ford Mustang next time around. I do like
working on cars and have learned alot from helping Brad. You just can't work
on the new cars.
Everyone to their own opinion!
