I'm waiting til the auction runs out to see if I can get them both for cheaper :) cliftyhanger wrote: I know of an 1850 for sale in Eastbourne. No idea how much. Now that I'm interested in. I'm close enough to Eastbourne to go pick it up. Who do I need to get in touch with? 962 wrote: It's called Murphys Law ;D Why don't you put a Sprint motor in it, I think you will find a few more about than the 1850? Beans is in Holland :) Ah, that is a bit of a trek :S I plan to do a Sprint engined Spitfire at some point (or rather a Sprint engined GT6). It's a bit close in performance to the Spit6 that I'm building at the moment, and I was looking to see how cheap I could make a swapped Spitfire :) plus, for some reason I've got the idea stuck in my head to make a slant 4 Spitfire just to see what it would be like.

Please let keith know it was me (Clive) who pointed you towards him. I got some bits off him last year, and promised keep an ear out for people wanting stuff. And no, I don't get a cut. Sadly. Clive Senior |
