Bought a Spitfire: My second one in 58 years!

Another new member here. In 1965 I graduated from High School and just before entering college I bought my first new car. A 1965 Triumph Spitfire in white. That car was used and abused all through college. I even autocrossed it for a couple years my Junior and Senior years. I sold it when I graduated and progressed on to a BMW 2002. But... that little Spitfire has a fond memory revisited often in my passing years. It awakened a lifelong interest in sports cars that was heartily indulged. Now, at 75 on a whim I purchased a '77 Spitfire 1500, and am looking forward to tinkering with it, fixing those things not quite right, and taking fun jaunts.

Since 58 years have gone by I'm going to look for a lot of help here, but that's a bunch of the fun. There should be a pic of my new toy.
