Hurumph!!! LAst friday saw a very worrying fire in my MK3 Spitfire! The starter motor stuck on, and got hotter and hotter until it started a small fire (which I quickly put out thankfully!) I was worried that the W&P fastback - of which only two of the type are currently known to survive was about to be a pool of melted/twisted glass fibre!!!!

On a more positive note the restoration of FC316 is moving along with the front wishbones being repainted and re-bushed this weekend - hopefully have the front suspension sorted by the end of the month and the rear suspension by the end of next - here's hoping!
