Known Issues to Watch For

Spitfire: Engine: Small Triumph four - bulletproof, easy to work on. Timing chain, oil leaks. 1500 has bottom-end issues if over-revved. Gearbox: 4-speed, overdrive optional (desirable). Rear suspension: Swing axle - notorious handling at limit. Positive camber tuck-under can be dangerous. DRIVE CAREFULLY. MkIV+ improved but still tricky. Chassis: Backbone - check thoroughly. Outriggers rust. Body: Steel - front wings, sills, floors, rear wings rust. Door bottoms. Bonnet hinges (tilts forward): Check mechanism. Values: Affordable classics, rising. Mk3 best early, 1500 most common. Budget £1-2k annually. DIY-friendly.

GT6 Mk2 (best handling), Spitfire Mk3 (best early), Overdrive, Hard top, Wire wheels
