My first Spitfire

[Rhodri1985]

I have always had a passion for classic cars and now that I am leaving university I would like to get my first classic. I did look initially at MG midgets but think a spitfire would be much better! I sat in one in a local garage and turned it over and instantly fell in love with it! Money is tight, probably would not want to spend over £1500 on the car and my mechanical knowledge is basic to say the least, however I am not afraid to learn or get my hands dirty! I would like some information on what age/engine is best to get, what to look out for when browsing and what I can get for my money! Cheers
