There is a lot of skepticism surrounding these cars and notion that many people think that a Spitfire with say 30,000 mi at this age would be better to own, instead of one with only 6,000 mi. That is simply because they don't have one with 6,000 mi. This car always starts up on the first try, and holds a steady idle between 8-900 rpm.

Reason for selling My Girlfriend and I bought this car, after spending weeks, sifting through the majority of boring and very drab used cars for sale on the internet. When we came upon this one, we knew we found something great. Since then my job has required me to travel more, and I just hate putting the miles on this car. To simply go to work and back. So we've decided it must go back into the hands of a collector.
