Hi!

I checked out all my serial numbers to try and figure out if what year
my spitfire really is.

Registration says 1966, but the front park/turn lamps are rectangular,
which seems to come from a mk3.  The bumper isn't on the car, but I
=think= it goes over the lamps, like on a mk3.  The bumper however
doesn't have rubbers on the overriders...

Here are the numbers, if anyone can give me a definite answer, I'd
appreciate it.

comm no:FC70653
body:   63317FC
all other parts (motor, tranny, diff) have serial numbers starting with
FC also.  

The numbers lead me to beleive it really is a '66.  Is it possible that
it was built late in '66, so they started using parts from a mk3?

..Paul
