I owned a 1964 Spitfire in 1968. Once I got kits to rebuild the carbs it was as dependable as any British car can possibly be! The swing axle handling took some
adjustment on my part, but once learned was no problem. I owned/drove the car
for a year and the only time the top went up was when it was raining! Didn't matter
how cold it got as I had a tonneau cover that would allow only the driver side to be
open. That along with the "heater from hell" kept the driver's bod warm. The only things that I changed on the car were the addition of driving lights in the grill opening and I dyed the interior black from red. I also make a walnut dash for it. Really spiffed up the interior!
