mbs2013 Posted October 24, 2020 Report Share Posted October 24, 2020 Hi I'm Matthew and I'm a new member in the Staffordshire area. I've recently bought a restoration project Spitfire Mk3 and will soon start a blog covering the restoration. The car itself has been off the road a fair while and is a bit unknown in terms of its history, but it's a 1970 model in white (well more primer and other coloured panels) with factory hard top. The welding work has all been done by a previous owner, so I've taken on the next step if the project. It runs and drives but is a good way from being road ready. I started in the world of classic cars in my early teens and have had: 2 x Dolomite 1300s 2 x Dolomite Sprints 2 x Spitfire 1500s and a "modern classic" Audi TT. I'd had a long break from working on cars until I bought the TT last year and, having significantly improved that, decided to go for the Spitfire I'd always wanted- the Mk3.

Colin Lindsay Posted October 24, 2020 Report Share Posted October 24, 2020 Welcome Matthew, feel free to post away and ask plenty of questions if you need to; some of us like to pretend that we know the answers! One very important rule is that you must post photos. I miss the TSSC International at Stafford Agricultural Showgrounds, I got to know the area very well over the years - for some reason I always remember the signs for the Crematorium very clearly..
