Hello fellow owners, I have a 78 Spitfire, FM 77059 U, built in April of 1978. It is very original, right down to the spare tire, which still has the sticker on it, but has never been used. It even has the heat that always seems to be on! My problem is, the door mirror on the left door. It

My Spit (FM 78063 UO) came w/ a black mirror. It was in poor shape when I got the car (with less than 30K miles) and has been replaced and a matching pass door mirror added. My only complaint is that the pass door mirror I bought (I think from V-B) is a flat mirror, vice convex. Also, the

My (UK-spec) '78 had black mirrors when I got her, although I can't personally guarantee they were there from new. A friend who had an identical model (a '77 I think) was very keen on originality, and I think his door mirrors were black too. At least, his was a twin of mine (same colour), and

Hey Guys, The GT6+ is puking gas out of the front Carb AGAIN! The first time was after the long trailer run to Texas. I spent the 1st day there with my face in gas. It was flying out of the vent hole. You would think a stuck needle valve so I replaced it with a new one. Still puking so out
