1972 Triumph Spitfire Differential
I want a higher top end speed. I believe the final drive that's in it is a 4:11. I have an additional rear end with FK30859 stamped on it but can't find that designation anywhere. What is it?

Not a great car for daily use, but a fun little sports car to cruise around in! Not very powerful, but the look and sound make up for that! Sounds and looks amazing! I wouldn't enter any races with mine though.Aug 15, 2013

It is not mine anymore. I spent 4 yrs on a total frame off restoration. Painted as WWII Supermarine Spitfire. It was a blast to drive, and my daily driver for a long time. I'd love to ahve it back!Mar 05, 2009

Italian looks... but British engine :-(
The answer? Drop in a period Italian Twincam engine as designed by Lampredi (Ferrari race engine designer) and you get performance to match the looks :-)
OK it annoys the purists, and the economy suffers, but the insurance is barely affected and performance is out of this world!
Add twin 40s, minilite wheels, a GT6 bonnet and you have my idea of perfection.Nov 13, 2008

Not the most comfortable of interiors but why does that matter? Weirdness by today's standards-eg strange door handles (flush fitting). The roof: now here was a problem, VERY fiddly. If I remember correctly the sound of the engine was worth everything if anything all contained in that very cool forward-hinging bonnet :D Jan 22, 2008

Great little simple car. Rebodied in the 70's. Now very light and quick + free road tax in the UKDec 31, 2007
