Has had a partial restoration done. Wheel bearing have all been replaced with modern ones. New brake master cylinder. Top has some wear, but will keep out the rain. Electric fan on the radiator, to keep the engine cool."

This is my 1975 Spitfire. I have done quite a bit of restoration to it over the years and for the last 2 summers, drove it to and from work. It has always been garage kept. Engine needs a tune-up and the carb could use a cleaning, but she'll always fire up.  The breaks on the front are cross drilled disc's with ceramic pads. I added a electric fuel pump for added reliability, and had to change out the temp gauge with aftermarket, as I can't seem to get the original "smiths" brand. Theres no stereo in the car, but the wiring for a standard aftermarket is all ready, as well as the speakers I'v built in under the dash. 
Little over 52,000 miles, not quite sure as the odometer stopped turning last summer.
The car still needs plenty of restoration, for anyone who enjoys that kind of work, but you can still drive it as is.

Jaguar F Type V6 S vs Triumph Street Triple R in open-air track attack

Sun, 21 Sep 2014

Typically, these track battle videos pair up car against car or, in more disparate circumstances, car versus crossover, as we saw the other day. While the outcome of that battle was quite predictable, what'll happen when an equally fetching (and fast) four-wheeler is put up against one of the icons of the two-wheeled world? Evo just had to find out.
Matching up a Jaguar F-Type V6 S Convertible against a Triumph Street Triple R is at least more of an even fight than the last battle between the Porsche Cayman GTS and Macan Turbo. The Triumph has a 675-cc engine to work with, and is very light. Meanwhile, the Jag has a thumping 380-horsepower, 3.0-liter, supercharged V6 to haul about it's considerably heftier heft. Who will come out on top?
You'll need to watch the full video to find out.
