Barry, this is what Triumph advertised as the "Vista" grille, and it really is
intended for the Spitfire 4 and Mk 2 only, although it MIGHT work -- sort of --
on a Mk3. If you'd like to see it fitted, I can scan a picture. Or maybe Joe
Curry's got a photo he can share or point to?
At one point, I think this particular grille was "recommended for racing
purposes...." (better cooling, perhaps?)
