I believe one or two survivors began life as low-back Mk.IXs – TE308, for instance.

R4118, there were a few, as it is basically the same as a low back Mk16, but with the British built Merlin

The link Seafuryfan has provided reveals that the campaign owner has stopped the page from accepting further donations.

The background to this Spitfire and an explanation as to why it needs restoring (again) is not given. Those who follow the historic scene will know but I would have thought it important to explain this background to potential backers from the wider public. Perhaps I have missed something on that site?
