10/24/08 Just purchased 1968 MK3.
With only two weeks before my second son is due I jumped on the chance to snag this '68 Spitfire to replace my motorcycles. It is a non-concourse Triumph that is in very good mechanical shape and has a solid rust-free (as much as any these days) body.
To answer the question I'm always asked first - The hood bump is where the previous owner put a free flow mushroom filter on top of a single Carter carb. The bump is where the filter sits under the hood (bonnet). I think it is very unique and is always asked about.
More work to come after the new baby is home and safe.
