This is what I am aiming for…

When I started the Spitfire project back in November 2014, I surfed around looking at pictures of restored Spitfire IVs, in search of inspiration.

There are some beautifly restored cars out there, but I found myself coming back to this one time and again.

Sports cars can only be red or green, I’ve had a few green cars, signal red is a bit too strident, so Carmine red it will be, with a tan interior.

So this is where we are as of Friday, 29th May:

This week, Andy Dann has given the car two coats of primer…

There is more rubbing down to come, then a final coat of primer, then more rubbing down before the application of the top coat.

I can’t wait!
