I don't own a copy of "Spitfire/GT6 Collector's Guide", so I can't say anything about that. "Triumph Spitfire and GT6 - The Complete Story" is by James Taylor. It's not a bad book, probably worth the

Of course it doesn't! My car only ever let me down once, because of a dumb mechanic making a mess of exchanging a halfshaft, leaving me without brakes. Since then I don't let any mechanic near my car

You'll definitely need a GT6 master cylinder. Have you overhauled the Spit brakes? You shouldn't need GT6 brakes on a Spit to get good brake action - the standard brake system (if in good condition)

I think the Dolomite Sprint did compete very well with the BMW 2002. And I also think the 2500 saloons competed with the larger, forgettable BMW saloons of the day. I wasn't talking about a startup c

The overdive unit on Ebay came out of a 1976 Spitfire, which makes it a J-type. J-type overdrives are generally hooked up to single-rail gearboxes. If your gearbox is original, it's a 3-rail gearbox
