There are people to deal with all that stuff under the hood (bonnet) I rebuilt mine, engine and body. The engine is so small I lifted it out by hand, set it on a tire and onto the ground... I called it a go-cart... Rear Suspension would put the fear in God in you while making a tight turn.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So, I saw tat cover once before, and every other cover from about '63. And I read most of them... Grandma was kind of boring but she liked to see me reading. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They sort of do, at least as far as the angle of the photos can tell us. But they don't have the air scoop behind the prop Definitely not a Hurricane. It is a Spitfire, but not a “classic” one. It is a variant, there were many. Probably with clipped wings and has a modified forward air scoop. Googling suggests it is a variant used in North Africa/Middle East/Burma. Can’t find any details.
