The mechanic who worked on my last 3 has a blue 68 Mark III spitfire for sale with OD and hardtop... he is asking $8500. Car was his sons, bought in '85 (originally a California car)
and stored for a number of years more recently. I saw it on the lift and it looks largely rust free - bright chrome. He is going over it now and has promised photos. I can't say much on the car as I didn't spend much time looking at it and I don't know spits - but this was the same mechanic who complained that the PO on my last 3 used the wrong bolts when mounting the front fenders (fit was fine, bolts weren't) - so I suspect this is a very well sorted car... Anyway, if there is someone local interested, PM me and I will pass along the contact info...I have to go out there in a week or so anyway and can check it out further if someone is interested... if I had storage, I'd buy and store this one for my son (who's 11 now.. ). I doubt he is interested in dealing with shipping the car, but I could always ask...
