They sound like the ones I am going to use & they look like this.

I believe these doors can be fitted to the Spyder body, but as far as I know the Spyder body will not fit the Spitfire chassis.
( Well not without major reconstruction work anyway.)
I can't tell from this photo, but I think the front bumper brackets have been removed from the chassis
after the rebody inspection took place.
I can't touch the brackets on my own Spitfire until after this inspection takes place.
Which is my my bonnet will not currently fit as they are in the way.
So if I have understood the rules correctly, this car will have to remain a Sammio Cordite.
Unless you weld these brackets back on and they took the car back for another re-body inspection.
Obviously if you are planning to buy this car as the base for a Sammio Cordite you are in luck.
The inspection has been done and you can just get on with fitting the frame & bodywork.
Personally I wouldn't take to the road without getting a new MOT, but that's just me.
Sorry for the long reply, but I hope it clears a few things up.
Good luck with the sale and I'd be interested to see what it finally goes for.
Cheers, Paul.
