Peru was one of the countries where CKD kits were shipped and assembled
locally. There are quite a number of Spitfires down there and an active
club as well.

Subject: Fwd: Triumph Sighting
While in Lima, Peru last week with the famliy, we saw, parked at teh
side of
the street in the San Isidro (sp?) area, an Inca Yellow (what else)
Spitfire.
It was in remarkably good condition, from a quick glance, and appeared
well
cared for.
Given that the bulk of tansportation in Lima was tiny Korean boxes and
some
clapped out early 70s and 60s american cars, this was an intersting
sighting.
You see Triumphs in the oddest of places, don't you?
