Tom,
From my records, just the one Seafire RX168 in partnership with Steve Atkins and still for sale I believe. The Mk V EF545 ID, firewall and some parts, ex new Guinea, has now moved on.
There are usually a combination of factors as to 'technical' problems with Spitfires, some of them not so obvious. We are getting into dangerous waters here and bordering on the litigious.
