Hi Bill

Thanks Bill

> Standard -Triumph offered an off-the-shelf twin carburettor conversion
from the contemporary Spitfire. In fact, the full Spitfire engine was
available, together with a Vitesse dashboard with revcounter and 4.55:1 diff
if wanted. These latter mods were very much special order, but the TC kit is
listed in all of the 1200 factory parts lists and seems to have been quite
popular.
