A big hello to all the Spitfire guys!
I have a small, but growing business making wood dashboards for (mostly) British sports cars. I want to add the Spitfire and GT6 to our line-up of dashboards we offer, and I need a little help from some of you Spitfire experts out there. What I need is examples of the different changes made to the Spitfire dashboards over the years. So for anyone that is willing to post pictures of your Spitfire or GT6 dashboard with the corresponding year model, this is the thread for it! If we could put together a timeline with a picture of a stock-configuration dashboard from each year, that would be GREAT! It would also be nice, I think, to have this thread as a reference for anyone down the line wanting to restore their car to the factory correct specs for any given year. I have one original spitfire dashboard to work from currently, but I am unsure which year car it came from.
Also, as another general question, are GT6 dashboards from a given year identical to the Spitfire dashboards from that same year, or are there differences?
Check out https://www.darbydashboards.com for a look at some of our work and the parts we offer. Thanks SO MUCH for the help guys!!
