List,
I hope to close a deal on a decent '70 Spitfire MK3 soon.....the plan is to
keep it awhile until the 6 restoration is completed....then find a nice home
for it since the new garage isn't big enough for 2 LBCs...hmmmm or will it
be?
Anyway, a PO fitted a GT6 bonnet to it but attached - on bonnet & boot - is a
badge under the Triumph badge that says "Spyder". It's a nice looking
chromed item and it appears to belong there by the way its fastened and
placed. But, I don't ever remember seeing or hearing about a Spyder
option/model for the Spitfire - could it be a GT6 option or is it off of a
Fiat or something?
Also, the engine has SU's (75hp?) which I thought were replaced by a single
Stromberg in 1970 for USA? Engine has a chromed valve cover that has the
same Spyder logo on it. Car really runs strong with performance (single
flared pipe) exhaust.
TIA,
Chip Krout
