Spitfire New to this group. Not to British cars.

Hello, everyone.
I've owned British cars off and on since I was 16 years old. My 1st one was a 1959 MGA roadster, which I purchased in 1966. I overhauled the engine, brakes, and electrical system. My 2nd MGA was 1960 coupe purchased in 1968. It was in excellent condition, and I never had to work on it other than regular maintenance. I will forever regret selling that one. It was actually warm in the winter. My 3rd one was again a 1959 roadster purchased in 1975. It was in good condition, and only needed a new top. In 1990, I picked up a 1979 Triumph Spitfire. It was a mess, and I ended up rebuilding the engine, gearbox, and braking system, as well as the suspension, and soft top. Tomorrow I will take possession of a 1976 Spitfire 1500. It's been sitting, garaged, since 2003 and will require lots of TLC. I downloaded the "Awakening" PDF, and will read through that before proceeding. I'm looking forward to the "Awakening".
