  1. Thanks for the advice. I've requested more photos (chassis, floor pans, etc.) and will see if my friend in the Netherlands can go and view the car. I'll update soon!
  2. Thanks for your comment. I've got a friend who lives just over an hour from the garage, so he's offered to take a look at the car. I've been emailed lots of photos, but none of the underneath! Perhaps there's a reason for that!! Cheers
  3. Hi - I'm new to the forum, and am in the process of looking for my first Spitfire. I recently found a Spitfire on an internet site at a garage in the Netherlands. Unrestored, but in good general condition and well looked after. Priced at 3,500 euros, it seems a good deal. I requested additional photos, especially of any of the rust areas, to help me make up my mind. The worst area of rust is on the windscreen surround (see photo) - I've read that this is a common area for rust build up, and it looks like it's never been dealt with from the photos. My question is, has anyone had this area repaired, and if so, was it a costly repair? Should it be enough to put me off buying the car? I live in France and am looking at RHD Spitfires as they are considerably cheaper than the LHD versions here. I look forward to any help or advice you can give. Cheers!
