Hello Chaps,
I'm Dave and after 10+ plus years of dreaming I finally have my Mk3 Spit!
Drove her 240 miles from Leeds to London last week, top down the whole way with many jumpers on. Unfortunately the gear lever bush disintegrated in the M25 traffic which left me speeding off in reverse at several traffic lights, new ones on its way!
One question though, she only starts when you release the key from the start position, is this normal? It looks like there's no spark while the engines cranking but once the key releases there shines the blue streak on the spark plug.
