******************************
The 1500 and the MK IV share the same hood (bonnet), other than the two
small holes and the Spitfire MK IV badge on the front (which could always
be added), they are the same. Unless it has the badge (or the two small
holes) on it you would never be able to tell if it was from a MK IV or a
1500 till about 77 when they added additional reinforcing tubes at the
rear. Both these cars would still be later 1500's by the commision numbers
(FM-), not 1972 MK IV's (FK-)
