NMNA. Found it poking around Baltimore.

Can you retro chrome bumpers on to this?

That looks pretty nice for 700 bucks.

A running Spitfire with a hardtop for $900 is great price.

Yes you can put chrome bumpers on them.

There's a well known Spitfire guy that lives in Baltimore. I bet he will scarf this up if he sees it.

Oh E36 M3. I want that. Slap the hard top on and it could be my winter beater and maybe a rally-x car for next year.

text message sent... a bunch of enablers, you guys...

Well... I tried to enable you guys with a cheap E30... but it took over a week before somebody expressed desire to come look at it. I do hope he buys it. I could use the money to pay for this.

If all goess well, I may get to find out how well a Spitfire works in the snow!

Still waiting for a text back... but I'll call when I get home from work tonight.

Seriously... this is EXACTLY the kind of Spitfire I've been casually looking for. If it works out, I owe you a case of beer.

Oh... and Bill is right... if I want this car, I need to jump before Paul sees it... although it wouldn't surprise me if he already knows about it. I doubt he wants to buy it if he hasn't sold his TR7 yet.

Don't you have a Volvo P1800ES to work on?

Not until I have a place too work on it. I'm on project car #5 since I bought the Volvo.

Jax - that's what makes this one a good Winter car: It's already rusty!

...and when I texted the seller yesterday afternoon about seeing/buying it, he responded it's been sold. Oh well... it was probably a silly idea anyway...
