“Spitfire in South Africa”

written by TomSmales on 06/05/2012

I went to Manchester University in the 1960's and was always really jealous of a fellow student who had a new Spitfire bought by his well off parents whilst I travelled on the buses. So 40 years later I at last bought a MK1 Spitfire 4 here in South Africa, apparantly in the 1960's the kits were imported from UK and assembled in Durban.
I have never had a car so easy to work on, and the climate here is perfect for an open top car, I drive it for the sheer fun and it is amazing how many other cars hoot, wave and even take photographs. I would advise that any owner should have an electrical/mechanical bent as for example, the original wiring is a nightmare, and one of my first jobs was to strip out every piece of cable and install a loom retrieved from a scrap yard from some more modern car.
This is a car you want to work on, add a few gauges, customise the interior, so if you have the time, inclination and enthusiasm, then this is the one to go for.
