Description

Take a look at this Triumph Spitfire! This is a solid car that you can get in and drive. I bought this car from a retired school teacher four years ago. It was her baby- garage kept- always covered- never saw rain or snow. She no longer had the time and patience to maintain the car.

Since I have had it I brought it mechanically up to snuff:

- New U-joints all around

- New Brakes

- New Poly Transmission Tunnel and Insulation

- Repaired Electric Overdrive- (Big Difference for Road Touring)

- New Heater Control Valve

- New fluids all around

- Pioneer /Jensen Radio and sound system- CD, ux and Satellite Radio

General Over view:

Body:

The body is all metal, o rust or bondoanywhere. Paint has a small crack in the Bonnet at the flex point just above the headlight- sealed with matching touch-up paint- All around a few stone chips in the paint- This car cleans up real nice !

Chassis:

The chassis is solid- suspension is tight- No squeaks or rattles- A blast to drive on the curves!

Drive train:

New U-Joints on axle and drive shaft. Transmission shifts smooth

- Lots of clutch

- E Overdrive flawless

- Engine runs strong- Idles smooth

- Good rubber- 80%

- Like most vintage British roadsters this one has asmall Rear Seal and Differential Oil Leak

that needs to be inspected and topped-off at the start of driving season.

Interior:

PERFECT !

-No tears, uts or cracks-Including Dash

-Reupholstered Hounds Tooth and Black scheme

- Clean intact carpet-w/ set of floor mats

- All gauges and indicator lights working

Other stuff:

- Comes with nice Tonneau cover with center zipper

-Convertibletop is perfect- No tears or marks anywhere

- Built in Battery Minder for Winter Storage

- Rear Wheel Hub Puller (a necessity when doing axel or bearing work)
