Description

Thisbeautiful British sports car wasadult owned from 1997 until I rolled it out of his garage in 2015! That is 18 years of the previous owner documented ownership! This is a great daily driver that with very little work could be a high grade classic collector car! Hagerty Classic Car values this vintage roadster between $7,000-$11,000 with minor work to be an $11,000 to $13,000 classic! This Triumph is a great piece of automotive history:

The Triumph Spitfire was among the long line of classic, ritish sports cars made by Standard-Triumph. Named after the famed Battle of Britain fighter plane and designed by Giovanni Michelotti, he most prolific Italian sports car designer of the 20th century, pitfire is steeped in history. It was successful in racing (Le Mans) and in rallying, nd it had a production span of 18 years, n which many model changes took place.
