arallsopp Posted October 18, 2022 Report Share Posted October 18, 2022 Afternoon all. I'm the new and extremely proud owner of HPF 107C. Dubbed "Audrey" by the household, she's my first classic and a testament to the prior owners' diligence and ability. I hope to do right by them, and will doubtless be leaning on a lot of you for knowledge and assistance. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Clark Posted October 18, 2022 Report Share Posted October 18, 2022 Welcome! Perfect timing to become an owner since today is the 60th anniversary of the launch of the Spitfire at the London Motor Show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blimey. That was a hell of a year for little british sports cars then. The Spitfire, the first Cooper "S", the Lotus Elan, Jensen C-V8, the mighty DB4 vantage (with the facelift that Cubby Broccoli would make famous world over) and (ahem) the MGB. Lots of faces, but if there was a tail I had to tuck into the garage each night, it'd be the Spitfire MK1 every day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josef Posted October 18, 2022 Report Share Posted October 18, 2022 Welcome aboard! Love the colour. PF was a Guildford registration so it started life not too far from where you are now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is an absolute stunner. Every time I open up the garage I find myself just stopped and staring at her. As I learn more about her, I realise just how close to original she is. Will get some more photos when the sun comes back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRM Green, which is going to be a pain to fix for the inevitable stone chips but oh so pretty. Nice to think after being around the country with her prior owners she’s coming home.

arallsopp Posted October 19, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2022 Bulleid‘s span can is a good looking beast, mind. Withdrawn from service whilst HPF107C was being assembled, @PeteH. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
