I'd had a conversation with the guy the last couple days.... kidded him 
about the issues as you mentioned (and others)
He mentioned this is less than the price they had gotten when they sold 
it to the current owner who is selling it!

Not the most asked. A couple years back, a gentleman posted a baby blue 
round tail... for $6oK.  yes 60,000.00
weeks later it came up at 30K then 20..... never sold as far as I know.  
That was when a museum quality unit might have been fetching $9K
we all had to admit the car was spectacular but we knew someone who 
nothing about triumphs did the resto as the 'book' logo on the nose was 
upside down!

Anyone else check out the OTHER cars this vendor has for sale?
Gotta wonder why he's even bothering with the Spitfire!

Only 3600 miles since new.  Apparently it came form the factory with a down=

I'm looking for a good rust-free Spitfire tub, but I think I'll have to pas=

Prices of Spitfires have never been truly up there like I would like them
to be.  With that being said in 2007 I sold my 64 Spitfire that I finished
the restoration on back in 2000 for $9,500 (buy-it now).  At that time I
felt that was a pretty good price considering what others were selling for
at the time.

sold a '78 (Punkin')  which was nicely painted and really quick, but 
nothing else special about it back in 2000 $7800
A guy from Arizona bought it site unseen other than via Web-TV viewing 
the website pics.
Sent his brother-in-law here from western MD to pick it up and put in in 
storage...was afraid of my messing it up taking it to a local car show.
...laughed all the way to the bank.
