KevinB Posted October 19, 2018 Report Share Posted October 19, 2018 Hi, I'm having a Spitfire restored Mk2 (manufactured in August 1966) and have been informed that the correct colour for the rocker cover is a sort of metallic gold / bronze? Is this correct? The engine we've had rebuilt is the original and the rocker cover on that is black? I'm trying to restore the car in as near original spec as possible so would like to get this right. Any ideas greatly appreciated. Thanks, Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanMi Posted October 19, 2018 Report Share Posted October 19, 2018 Oddly enough mine first registered sep 1966 was also black and it looked original (had 58000 on the clock when I got it in 1990). I have now done it with the club gold as I have always been told that this was original. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Flinn Posted October 19, 2018 Report Share Posted October 19, 2018 Here's a link to an Original Sales Brochure for a Mk2 Spitfire, it's shown Gold/Bronze in the Engine bay shots? In fact the Air Cleaner looks the same colour too! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1967-TRIUMPH-SPITFIRE-Mk-2-SPORTS-CAR-Original-Sales-Brochure/362304838256?hash=item545b0d1a70:g:RJYAAOSwUMBa4yJJ:rk:1:pf:0 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
