1979 Triumph Spitfire
Clear Title Same owner for 25 Years Garage Kept 81 K Miles

For sale is my personal hobby car for the last 25 years. My Dad let me buy her when I was in 10 th grade. I've enjoyed tinkering and upgrading it for years. I've done all the hard work. now it's time for someone else to enjoy her… She can be yours. just in time for the Fall driving season!

Here's a list of the major improvements through the years:

New carpet from Newton Commercial

New hydraulic clutch (Master and Slave Cylinders) Monza Exhaust Rebuilt Engine from Ted Schumacher TSI Automotive (increased compression. balanced. cam. pinned thrust washers) (Invoices available for reference. )New Header New Steering Rack New PVC Transmission tunnel cover with added insulation Dual SU Carbs rebuilt by Joe Curto (1. 5" Euro Spec)Sport Ignition Coil New Distributor Pioneer Head Unit with Bluetooth i Phone integration and matching 3 way 6 x 9 speakers Panasport Aluminum Wheels Retrofitted with pre-1979 Chrome Bumpers Factory Hardtop with matching paint New parcel Shelf New Crash Pads Refinished walnut dashboard Replaced rear leaf spring

Includes:Tonneau cover Boot Cover Haynes Manual
The paint on the car is about 12 years old. but she's been garage kept ever since. The car was originally British Racing Green. I selected a slightly different British Racing Green from a 1973 Jag E-Type I saw at a car show.
The motor is STRONG with lots of torque. she will go faster than you want to go in a car of this size.
(The vinyl top is in good condition but needs to be replaced. One snap has pulled through (see pic) and the cotton backing on the interior has started to dry rot. The tonneau cover has a small tear but can be patched. I've only used it once. )Some surface rust and corrosion in and around the battery box. common to this model.
Please feel free to submit questions. Thanks!
