We take a first look at a 1970 Triumph Spitfire that just came into the shop. It was fully restored by the previous owner and modified with a warmed over GT6 engine ( cam, header, more compression, triple Stromberg conversion). It has an Ansa exhaust, Spax adjustable shocks, and a fair bit of attention to the details. It does have some minor issues though, and thats why the owner brought it in, we’re going to sort it out.

Nice restoration. Clean car. If any of my Bugeyes come out anywhere near this nice, I'll be a happy camper. The Spitfire 6 is a car I would love to own.

Looking forward to the next videos on the Spit. I have a GT6 and love it so I’ll be looking for it. Thanks

all the running/turn lights goes thru the emergency switch...it is the emergency switch..lubricate it..flip it back and forth likely the c ontact will pass thru...

Yes, all of that does run through the hazard switch… It’s a Lucas thing. In this case, it turned out to be a bad connection at the fuse box

My Lotus has a soft supple ride and it is an English sports car. Simplify and then add lightness.

some fully electronic ignitions these days have no external box associated with them. everything fits inside the traditional distributor housing itself.

I'd love to have you fab a removable hardtop for a convertible Karmann Ghia. I have a donor roof from a coupe, cut well away from where the mounting edges will be. Whereabouts is your shop?

You are mistaken about the hood bulge. It is needed to clear the valve cover. Notice how it's in the middle?

I was actually talking about the offset bulge to the right of the center GT6 factory one to clear the engine.

I have the same problem with the bottom of my drivers door sticking out on my 74BGT (UK spec). I’ve heard they can be twisted back into shape. Any experience of doing this on B’s ?
@mgbgtguy
@mgbgtguy 6 месяцев назад
Yes, I have restored a number of B’s, on them it is almost always due to previous rust repair as the repair panels do not have enough shape in them and is quite a common site unfortunately. The doors can be twisted a tiny bit, but it’s not that easy (they have surprisingly good torsional rigidity) and you have to be very careful as you can damage the door in the process. Playing with the adjustment of the hinges to get a good happy medium can often times get you what you’re looking for, or at least something acceptable.

@@mgbgtguy I have played endlessly with the adjustment of the door but can’t get it to fit well. Rear quarter panel is a heritage replacement panel so I tend to think this is good. The door has been reskinned (not by me) so I’m thinking to fit another new skin and adjust it fit. Might try twisting it first which might save me the job of fitting another skin.

everytime a spit6 means a gt6 was destroyed

I have 9 gt6/spit6/spits...tho the spit6 is much faster one looses the lightness of the spit..it makes the spit handle heavy (and I have 2 spit6's)...I prefer to get the most out of the 1500/1300. There are 2 6's used.. Those are gt6 seats...I loathe them..as they do not lean all the way back as the stock square tail seats do...allowing for one to passionately entertain your significant other passenger...or sleep and dream/recall such encounters..Miata, the seats are restrained by the gas tank...yuk

I’m not sure I like the GT6 seats that are in this, I didn’t like how I fit in them when I test drove it.
