Clive Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 Went and took out mk3 spit for a spin yesterday (nice!) but the dash is looking very shabby with the veneer lifting/bubbling. So can anybody recommend a supplier or a source? A good used one would be fine, but I don't really want to spend the £100ish asked by the brothers in Lincolnshire. And I (google) can't find another supplier. Any pointers etc?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NonMember Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 There are people who attend Stoneleigh and the like who will do the full refurb but I have no experience of them. I was able to clean up and repair my spare one for Toby. His original is now spare and I'd be willing to part with it but it's delaminating at one side so it's not usable without some significant work.

Clive Posted January 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 Thanks Rob, but I want something I can just fit and look decent. The car is going up for sale in the near future, and I don't fancy my chances at doing a good enough job of repairing one. I guess stoneleigh is but a few weeks away. I had thoughts of taking the car in an attempt to sell, but the reality is that it won't be ready. Ho hum. (does go well though! fantastic induction noise with a pair of dellortos and a fast road cam, nudging into the red on the rev counter. And yes, the engine is balanced etc so safe) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clive Posted January 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 A new burr walnut one appeared on fleabay for what I consider a fair price, so snapped up. Many thanks to Richard and Rob for their suggestions. The car "may" even go to Stoneleigh.... But is it a good place to sell a top-end spitfire?

Guest Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 You have to advertise it to sell it Clive, at least 50% of the people attending Stoneleigh will be Triumph - so a good a place as any !! Regards. Richard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
