Well I have cut enough metal out of these and hundreds of other cars over the years and done hundreds of hours of welding on them,when you weld any steel you get to know if its good steel or not,despite fords inability to paint anything their steel was 100 times better but then ford used virgin steel not recycled,if you remeber ford even had their own foundries and mills.

What did those engines come into ?

whats welding got to do with the quality of the metal... all i was saying was that in those days rust was a big problem with all cars due to water and moisture being trapped in places, also the underseal wasnt as good then

forgive me,what do I know?fuck all no doubt,I mean I cant tell the difference between different metals I have spent hundreds of hours possibly thousands welding can I?
it was the lack of underseal and the many watertraps that made them rust, not the quality of the steel

the engines that were fitted in spitfires are not bmc "B" SERIES engines they are standard triumph's own engine designed approx around 1954 before triumphs were part of british leyland, these engines were also fitted into triumph spitfires, dolomites, heralds and mg midgets the B SERIES engine was an austin designed engine and was fitted into basically nearly everything! fitted with a 4 cylinder petrol engine made by leyland that was badged austin or morris and also mgb's.
