Hi John,

I think you are setting your sights too high. ;~)  I believe it is a Triumph 
Spitfire, of the 1.5 litre variety, one of the later models after they added 
the rubber baby buggy bumpers to satisfy US safety laws.

My son had a 1972 Spit, bought used, and enjoyed it for commuting to 
college.

Thanks for looking and commenting.
