Wich would you choose ?

Assuming you had the opportunity to buy 4 different Spitfires for a frame-off restoration project. All are in very comparable shape (body, engine, interior, etc.) and the asking price is about the same for each:

One is a '69, the other a MKIV from '71, the 3rd one is either '73 or a '74 (not sure) and the last one is a '79 1500.

None have a hard-top available and none have overdrive.

Considering the availability for parts, value of a restored car, pleasure to drive, etc, and again, assuming the amount of work and money to spend is very similar for all cars: wich one would you choose ?

Thanks for sharing your wisdom !

Louis, Vaudreuil
