Hello On Sideways

[Escadrille Ecosse]

Hi folks from Scotland and a Happy Christmas.

 

After dipping in and out of this forum for some time I've finally signed up. Currently have two Spitfires, a 1963 Mk2 with rotoflex, 2.5L on SUs and an all GRP body I built about 25 years ago. Car is off the road at the moment awaiting a full rebuild after about 200,000 miles of hard use. The other Spit is a 1962 Mk1 hillclimb and sprint car with small bearing 1300 and swing axles, various other mods and a few lightweight panels made from the moulds from the first car, but with a steel tub/ full cage.

 

My family classic and towcar for the hillclimb Spitfire is a 1979 Scimitar with a 4L Rover V8. Just can't leave them alone.

 

So hello all, especially John D - not seen you at Barbon for a while.

Hi Colin,

 

Welcome - sounds like a very distinguished garage you have there! I get the occasional urge for a Scimitar myself - probably either a 2.5/3.0 Omega V6 or a Lexus V8.....

 

Nice looking Spit

Thanks Nick. Really like the Scimitar, just feels so civilised and special. V8 makes a nice noise too...
