@saadisb...
Yes..this is in very good original condition...engine and mechanicals are not that good but its not an issue and easier to take care of...
But previous one (blue) is much much stronger than this one having all floors,panels,fenders etc in 18 guage steel.

I was wondering while going through the pics that who is this vintage/old/rusted/bald man working on the spitfire???
Then realized that ITS ME...
My mechanic was unable to remove the door remote handle and I was doing it myself...Pic was taken by my wife who came to see the progress and captured me but not at very good angle...lolzzz...

Removing very cautiously...original door cards ..
some previous owner !@#$%^&*()....made hole in the original door card to install speaker,ruining the door card.

And door card removed..I was amazed to see that the plastics under the door cards were also original but cut at the place of speakers...
