These pictures show a recent body off, bare metal restoration carried out by us for the Triumph Sports Six Club Area Organiser for East Berkshire, Mark Smith. Mark chose Ford Thistle metallic purple for both the body and chassis colours for his spitfire. We also fitted a new GT6 bonnet as Mark will be swapping the 1500cc 4 cylinder engine for a 2500cc straight six in the future. The final fitting up is being carried out by Mark himself - To see Mark's final fitting up and finishing CLICK HERE. Once completed, his purple spitfire will compliment his recently completed wedgewood blue GT6.
