Just ordered myself a spitfire tort for my 1964 Precision, specked 60s burgundy. Basschatters seem to have mixed experiences re: customer services but so far all is going very well. These are pretty expensive but there doesn't seem to be anything made at the moment which compares, anyone got one?

Excuse my ignorance but what makes them (Spitfire) so expensive compared to general ones? Does he have to catch the tortoise or something?

Well for a start it looks much more like the lovely vintage tort, rather than a lot of the modern stuff which looks more like a slice of Salami.

Other than not looking like a slice of salami, Mark individually hand makes these over in the states to your personal preference, whilst I love tort, all modern tort all looks a bit naff to me, and if you can find a decent vintage tort, you're looking at at twice the price of this.
