I have got a very good hint for you to keeping the nice old Engine in good shape with todays ultra dry eco fuels: Use 1:100 API TC two stroke oil / fuel mix as regular driving fuel, that keeps the old fuel-system gaskets, rubber parts, alloy parts etc... and cast iron metal surfaces of those vintage engines in excellent shape...and it also lubricates the valves and upper piston regions. Most Porsche vintage owners in Germany do so :) Also keeps carbs and tank clean and rustfree
It was this video that pushed me over the edge to buy my very own video! The freedom, rising sun and awesome sound of that lovely 4 cylinder engine. I now own my very own Triumph Spitfire and enjoying every bit of it!
Oh yeah my Father and me Want to Restaurant an old Red Triumph in the winter I like this car i see some cool Spitfires in videos i was nervous i want to restaurant the car right now !!!
What are the two "extra" clocks? One is in the parcel shelf area and the other just above that. I'm guessing added oil pressure and ampere meter. I sure do miss my '76 Spit!
I love it

the one in the dash is a clock (time)
the one under was a combined oil press and water temp mechanical - smiths - but these are bullsh*t -
use electric clocks -much better
