Vickers-Supermarine Spitfire is offered for sale.You have the opportunity to
own one of WW11's most famous fighters. In the 15-years of front-line
service was unequalled by any other Allied fighter Aircraft. All together
20,351 Spitfires were built,no fewer than 50 are flying in the world
today.This Spitfire is not a composite nor a facsimile but is a genuine
factory built aircraft with no equal in New Zealand today,with all original
equipment as fitted by the factory in 1944.This aircraft is not currently
flying.
POA.
The above link is for a on-line auction of a Genuine Spitfire for sale in
New Zealand
The key here is the "not currently flying". Could be anything from a
totally corroded mess out of the jungle or water to something
partially restored. Plan on bringing about $2M American to the
auction to either own a flyable aircraft or spend to get it flying.
