1979 TRIUMPH SPITFIRE 1500

A Triumph Spitfire is probably one of the most exciting cars to drive.  This two seat convertible will turn heads and be the subject of conversations everywhere you go.

This is a 1979 model 1500.  I bought this car with the engine in mid rebuild and recently finished (after starting over from scratch).  I don’t trust the odometer so I won’t list the mileage.  I will say that it has about 100 miles since the rebuild.  I’m selling it to pay one of my children’s medical bills.

I’m asking $4,500 for the car (with soft and hard top).  The hard top needs a new headliner and rear glass seal.  I have a parts car, and many other miscellaneous Spitfire components.  I’m asking $5,000 for everything Spitfire I have.

The hard top set in place.  The cloth headliner needs replaced and so does the rubber seal that holds in the back glass.

This is a close-up of the hood paint showing cracks directly over the engine (I suppose these are due to heat).

The car has a Webber DGV carburetor and high performance exhaust installed to give it a racecar sound to match it’s look.  The tires are nearly brand new including the full size spare.  As I mentioned, I don’t trust the odometer, and the turn signals don’t work.
