Soft Spot For The Spitfire

We’ve had this beautiful 1971 Triumph Spitfire in for work before, so its nice to have it back in for another check-up! Unfortunately, the diagnosis is a blown gasket, but its no trouble for our skilled technicians. This red beauty will be back up and running in no time!

Sealing up our Spitfire

Our 1971 Triumph Spitfire arrived with us last week with leaks all over the place. Ady, our specialist engine technician has been diagnosing the faults and working out what needs to be done.

“I’ve taken the sump off and taken the cover off the engine” Ady explains, “then cleaned an replaced all the seals”.

We won’t know until the engines all put back together if this has solved the problems, but we hope it has. Check back in again soon for what happens next!
