Just teasing -
What's worse than a triumph spitfire ?
Two.

Well, ' congrats' on your fine new acquisition.
I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy, but have fun.
Shouldn't be hard to ascertain pretty easily if won't  start from a fuel
issue, or ignition, or a mechanical engine issue.
They're not complicated, just diabolical.
You'll see.

Subject: NVC Triumph Spitfire Question

Since its off topic Fryeday I was wondering if anyone on the list is
reasonable familiar with late 70's Triumph Spitfires and or knows which of
the Forums I find when Googling would best be able to provide useful
mechanical information about them.  It seems that I am acquiring a `79
Spitfire that is in decent shape(last time I saw it anyway) but will not
start at the moment.  Thankfully the price is right(free) and I do have
storage space for the winter months.

For official Vanagon content, I will be towing it home(one mile) behind my
Westy Syncro as soon as I finish putting the new front rotors on the Westy.

TIA,

Mark in AK
