Comments on Registry: 1963 Triumph Spitfire –
Copy of response:
You may not be amused but the photo was given to me when I purchaes my car. The seller told me that it was taken in Europe prior to the exportation. When I received the vehicle it was red and I had it repainted to British Racing Green. The car is still mine although it now has a 6 cylinder engine.
Here is a photo of the car that was taken in the mid 60's with me standing by it.
Perhaps you would like to chat at length about this ... on the phone?
It would be interesting to know the history of the vehicle.
Presently I've stripped it down and am rebuilding it with modern brakes and suspension changes. The engine now has 3 motorcycle carburetors.
Here are a few more photos.
I definitely own a triumph
I've tried to access your mess
The car in the picture that was posted here is absolutely my car. No doubt about it. The Triumph spitfire mk3 with licence plate 76-29-HT was first registred in the netherlands on april 4th 1969.
This specific car has been in my posession since 1987 and still has this colour. Normally, the hardtop is not attached. I also have the matching bonnet/hood.
I bought the car 24 years ago and spent 4 years restoring it from scratch to original specs. After that, I used it a lot for some 15 years(but not often enough these days). I even entered it in several (about 20) historic rally's in The Netherlands (where I live), Belgium, France and Denmark.
I have attached 2 pictures of the car, taken during a mid-90's historic rally in the Netherlands (Horneland rally). In "horneland rally 1", the guy standing in front of the car is me. In "horneland ra
One explaination I can think of, is that the picture you got (and posted on this site) somehow got changed to the picture of my car I found there today.
Another is, that you bought the car during the 90's (not the 60's) and the seller gave you this picture, but took it from the french site...
The bottom line is: they MUST be 2 different cars ( I just checked: mine is still in the garage.... :-)) )
As to the bonnet you're looking for: it was made by Ashley. It is identical to the one I have (see the pictures).
The glas covers over the headlights are original (and therefore now expensive) Jaguar e-type units. Ashley just used what was easely available during the 60's. I borrowed two original units and made plaster moulds, then made perspex ones, using my mothers oven....
As to my posting on the site. It was perhaps a bit harsh. Sorry, I will try to remove it, or get it removed.
If not, I will add the content of this mail.
