As restoration projects go, Spitfires have two big plus points: they are relatively easy to take apart thanks to the separate chassis, and the availability of parts is excellent thanks to specialists like our sponsors, Moss Europe. Ours was a particularly tatty, typically rusty vehicle on which we could demonstrate all the repair and restoration techniques an owner or restorer is likely to need.

What we produced was a good, everday car. This guide includes a buyers' guide, how to dismantle and assess the work required, removing the suspension and repairing the chassis, new windscreen frame and inner wheelarch, replacing the engine, rebuilding the brakes, supension and steering, repairing the body, overhauling the carburettors, reassessing the gearbox, working on the overdrive, repainting the shell, starting reassembly and fitting up, fitting the hood and underriders, counting the cost, and uprating performance.
