Spitfire "Controle technique"

This one goes back to one year ago - September 2016

With temporary insurance and after double checking everything works I was ready to drive to the french emissions test. They are pretty strict in France, you are not allowed to modify your vehicle in any way.

Funny part, I stalled a few times on the way and even during the test.
Luckily I was able to peak in the engines and found that the carb jets were stuck on choke


Fully legal (just missing front number plate) I was able to drive 10 min away from home.
It confirms that missing the third gear makes the car too annoying to drive. Kind of daunting but after checking the gear linkage it looks it comes from inside the gearbox. Doesn't matter still happy to start driving !


We found a passenger that likes this little car !
