Hi Jackie,
This will be considered a modification for insurance purposes, so your insurer will need to be informed. Footman James at least are very accomodating with mix and match Triumphs. When I notified them of the 13/60 engine in one of my Heradl 1200s, there was no change in premium. The engine was from another sub-type of the same car, the premium would have been the same for the larger engined model. I suspect the same would apply to a Spitifre fitted with suspension designed for a later variant of the same car.
But let them know, they can decide if it's important or not.
Cheers,
Bill.

Hey Jackie,
Many moons ago I used to insure my race car with them... (Class A), I gave them a full list of every single little modification including no passenger seat and roll bar etc... and they hiked my insurance up a mighty &163;20 to cover it
.... yes, twenty pounds (incase you think
I missed out a zero)
