You do need to unbolt the rear retaining plate, since the hardtop won't sit properly on the rear deck with the plate still in place. Besides, you need to uncover the holes for the rear hardtop mounti

Welcome in our midst. I think you mean JNA - that is Pageant Blue. "C74" is the only trim code that comes close. It's for Beige & white "Houndstooth cloth". For more numbers/codes info, you might wan

What's wrong with original Triumph Java green? Our Sputter, in its lovely Java green coat of paint, is one of the best looking Spits ever. Nowadays it's a rare colour, too, since almost all of you un

Opinions differ. According to the otherwise trustworthy "Triumph Spitfire and GT6, a guide to orginality", it should be "JAE". That can't be right... Now that two owners on this list say the plate on

It might well fit, but they're not the same. Due to the smaller engine bay of the Midget, BL had to fit a slightly less generously proportioned exhaust manifold to the Triumph 1500 engine in the Midg

Of course it's all down to taste - or the lack thereof. I like a BRG Spit _almost_ as much as a Java green one. Believe me, I don't like any of those things, either. But I do like happy Java green. A
