98.77.57.69
Louis you're welcome!
Another point to consider is the weight of the early vs late (misc crash-standard stuff, rubber bumpers, etc)
The engines ie 1300, 1300 big-crank, & 1500 have been well documented so I won't get into that...

: 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 !
