This auction will be for a 1975 Triumph Spitfire 1500. This popular 70's sport convertible was originally a Green car with a Black interior. This Spitfire is a restoration project and not a daily driver at this time. The Triumph has some nice features, such as factory luggage rack, disc brakes, factory Triumph wheels with center caps, headrests and a nice interior wood trim decor. The drivetrain is believed to be the original four cylinder with manual transmission. The engine does run and does run pretty good. The engine is clean and there are no noises or problems. The clutch and transmission also are in good shape We drove car, but only about 20mph using 1-2 gears. The car needs work to go beyond that speed safely. The Body is in pretty good shape too. It does have some rust in the floors and some on the lower quarters but the car is NOT a rust out. It can be restored and there are a whole bunch of parts in the trunk and more coming from the previous owner. There is an extra gas tank, windshield and complete tilt-nose to name a few. This Spitfire was last inspected in 1998. So it has not been sitting for all that long. It is a project car though and it should be expected that work to the car will be needed to make it road worthy again. The Triumph should be trailed home also as there are no brakes. We certainly have seen worse than this when it comes to these cars. This one is worthy of restoring but will need a complete restoration.
