That thing is seriously cool as is any woman who owns a V8 Triumph and is selling it to travel the country in an Airstream.

Part of me really wants to do something stupid like buy this and drive it from California to Philly.  Curse my lack of storage. angry

Weary - it'd be tight, but I think you should try anyway.

Ian, I was contemplating the same thoughts.... but also have no place to store it. 

Come on, some one here needs to step up to the plate! Spring is coming!

Its only five hours away and I have the space and cash. But it is my LAST space and I as hoping to use it for something a little more exotic.

I would love that car. I am going to send her an email about the mustant tonight and get info on that as well. That I I can make space for.

I will be attempting to cash in on my “wife brought home a pet without telling me” card for this.  If she says no it will mean a miata is a slam dunk

The car is pretty and sounds wonderful. I can't see anything but the main pic-can someone rehost them here? (for me to live vicariously)

That is so nice. And it looks completely normal. Then you start the engine. 

 

SO NICE

It’s rare in Spitfires to get the transplant to fit completely under the bonnet.  That one was well done.

Did someone buy this yet?  I haven't had a lust like this for a long time.   I would consider giving up the 5.slow for this.

A serious steal.

Why no photos under the hood?  Makes me just a little suspicious considering the price drop.
