Triumph Spitfire (1978)
for sale

Price: US $5,750.00

Description:

1978 Triumph Spitfire, owned, babied and always kept garaged by two classic car collectors for the past 15 years. Not a show car but an excellent driver. I've taken it to several car shows over the years and it fits right in with the best of them. Always stored inside under a cover. Never driven in rain.
71, 300 original miles
4-speed, no overdrive
rare Brooklands green original Triumph color
folder of parts and service receipts going back to the original owner
Triumph Spitfire shop manual and original owners manual
zero oil leaks (yes, you read that right)
Brakes, oil change, tune-up and transmission rear seal replaced this fall
Dual Monza Exhaust
set of 5 Australian Superlite wheels with Potenza tires
nice tan houndstooth cloth interior
original carpet in good shape with Triumph rubber floor mats
Wood dash in excellent condition
top is good with zip out rear window
all gauges work including speedo and odometer
original single SU carb converted to twin SU's
small chip and crack in windshield but replacement windshield is included
minor rust spots in dog legs repaired and painted. (amateur job but it's located in an area not visible unless you get down low and look)
clean trunk with new spare and original tools in bag
newer battery, always on a trickle charge when not driven
large box with hundreds of $$ of assorted new parts, filters, plugs etc come with the car
Runs great and the Monza exhaust has a growl that belies it's 1500 engine. It has an am-fm cassette deck but trust me, you'll never listen to it with the way this car sounds.
I have 12 collector cars and will be selling my two Triumph's this winter. The other is a beautiful 1980 TR7 convertible in the same Brooklands green color- feel free to contact me if interested. Only selling to clear garage space for some spring shopping. Also for sale locally.
Sold as-is and no warrantees or guarantees are given or implied. I have done my best to describe the overall condition of this car as I know it. I'm not a mechanic and I don't work on my cars, so while I will be happy to try and answer any questions, I am limited in my mechanical knowledge- I always have my collector cars serviced by a local European car specialist. Personal inspections are encouraged. I am located in Earlysville, Va., only a few miles from the Charlottesville, Va. airport.
