Congratulations, my friend! You are the proud owner of a
Toledo/Dolomite engine. Apparantly some previous owner did an engine
conversion on the Spit. Look at it this way, it could be worse, my Spit
had a MG Midget 1500 engine when I got it. At least you got a Triumph
designated engine.
Now that you know what you got. Please visit the Spitfire Database
website and enter the information. The URL is:
