1979 Triumph Spitfire Description

NO RESERVE....NO RESERVE...LOW.......LOW STARTING BID

76,500 original miles (but will increase slightly as I sparingly drive it before fall storage).

Originally a California import car, then in the 1990’s it found its way into Canada. Brought back to the States in 2015 and wound up locally in Northwestern Pennsylvania. I purchased it from the gentlemen who brought it back into the states. Between the Canadian owner and the owner I bought it from many parts were replaced and upgrades made. I have also replaced a few maintenance items.

Many, many, many new parts and upgrades.

All California smog components removed by previous owner, new clutch, new front suspension, new aluminum three core radiator with electric fan, Weber carburetor and intake manifold, exhaust manifold and monza exhaust system, new rear leaf spring, new still in box tonneau cover, new convertible top, new interior door panels, new seat upholstery, new seat belts, new aftermarket stereo and custom speaker box behind seats, dealer installed (I believe) luggage rack, indoor car cover.

I had all my work done by a long time foreign car mechanicwho installedcomplete new rear brakes, wheel cylinders, hoses and hardware, adjusted the handbrake linkage, new tires and good spare, new battery and had him check all wiring and charging system (which were fine). Checked differential gear lube and transmission fluids which were fine. Purchased a new outdoor car cover for it.

All gauges, lights, signals, hazards, horn, etc.work as they should.

Car starts, runs and drive as it should.

38 year old paint is presentable but has some cracks here and there and one of the previous owners tried to repair probably a few scratches on the hood and you can see some sanding lines under the paint touch up. But overall not bad for the cars age.

Please look at pictures which are also considered to be part of the description of the cars condition.

I have a stack of receipts from the Canadian owner and the owner I bought the car from, plus my own. Anyone seriously interested can look through them.

Happy to answer any questions and take any pictures.

38 year old car being sold as is, where is.
