1973 Triumph Spitfire 1500 Blown Head Gasket 

I hope you enjoy these videos of me working on and playing with or driving my Triumph Spitfire . This was originally bought by me in 2017 after a wait of twenty years - my mum had one one when I was small and I always loved it but I was stopped from owning one myself every time I mentioned it. When I bought it it was a 1973 Triumph Spitfire MKIV 1300 with twin exhausts and Solex ADDHE Carburettors. It was loud and it was fast! After the big ends went I had the engine replaced with all that was available to me at the time, a Triumph 1500 engine so it became by default a 1973 Triumph Spitfire 1500 for all intents and purposes, especially when I swapped out the Solex to fit twin HS4 SU Carburettors. I have repaired, renovated and restored various parts and have resprayed the entire car, polished it and waxed it in between blasting around the local area as a daily driver. I just love it and it brings me great joy. Welcome to my channel, I hope you enjoy watching all the kayak fishing around the UK, mostly in the North Sea - in the sea and river, fishing for cod, bass, tope, dogfish, smoothound, thornback ray, whiting, wrasse and anything else I can target There's scuba diving off the North Norfolk Coast and Suffolk, wreck diving, reef diving, river diving, even Cenote Diving, in the Red Sea off Egypt, the Mediterranean off Malta and Gozo and in Mexico, Brazil, Lanzarote in the Canary Islands, Pembrokeshire in Wales, Swanage and Plymouth and of course the diving with sharks in South Africa. There's kayaking too, including surfing sailing and touring in the UK and abroad and a bit of snorkelling, Plenty of videos too of me fiddling with and driving my classic car, a 1973 Triumph Spitfire and other cars get a look in too.
