Subject: Looking for a Spitfire in Arizona
Date: Fri, 27 Sep 1996 09:53:00 -0400
Hello all,
My name is Mike Thorlin, and I live in Glendale, Arizona. I'm
planning on purchasing a Spitfire between now and first of the year.
I was hoping that I might obtain some leads from readers of this list.
I've been doing a lot of research and have been following this list
closely to get an idea as to precisely what I'm getting myself
into. Nontheless, I'd like to get some input/recommendations from the
community.
I'm looking for something along these lines:
- later model with notchback (Triumph treatment to rear end)
- 1300/1500cc engine
- OD is a _MAJOR_ plus
- good mechanicals - no major work needed, but I have every intention of
performing major improvements/rebuild down the road at my leisure
- body/chassis straight - minimal dents/rust but paint does not matter
- interior - drivable - restorable condition
With respect to mechanicals, I would like to use this car as a daily
driver as soon as is reasonably possible (I'm tired of the '79 VW
Rabbit diesel), so it must be mech sound.
I live in the Phoenix, AZ area and, ideally, would like an Arizona car
if possible, but if I found something nice in the surrounding states that
might work as well.
Thanks,
Mike Thorlin
