In the history file we have a copy of Triumph World magazine from October 2014, featuring a three page feature on our 1963 Spitfire explaining its build history and some anecdotes from Barry.
He tells us that the engine fitted when he bought it was not the original unit, so he bought a Mk 1 engine from Totally Triumph and was amazed to find that the serial number on this engine was only three digits away from the factory fitted one!
