1979 Triumph Spitfire
1500 O/D 79K
Purchased the Spitfire just before lockdown started.
Thankfully was able to pick up where previous owner had left off so a lot of
remedial/ replacement work was carried out. Have a record of the previous work,
bills, receipts and MOT’s as well as to what I have done. Quite a comprehensive
list as to what has been replaced.
Car is, 1979, 1500 cc, with overdrive, working, currently on
SORN, Tax and MOT exempt, and on axle stands with two covers. Chassis is rust
free. Bodywork is relatively good, but with some minor blemishes and marks
commensurate with age/ some staining and bits where paint has cracked etc. Hard
Top has some appearance of orange peel, but not immediately visible. Tyres are
all new. Exhaust has a small blow on the rear box. New wide aluminium radiator
fitted, carbs balanced, new slave cylinder for the clutch. Only been driven on
the road for 5 miles to and from garage for engine service. The car needs
tidying up interior wise. Dashboard, wipers, heater, seat, electrical bits. (all boxed and available).
I have a load of manuals, + USB, and photographic record of
the whole car since I’ve had it. I have quite a few spares, new soft top, new
carpets, new battery. Car starts, runs and drives but currently on SORN. Been
on axle stands over the winter period. Tyres are all new, exhaust is rusty and
has a blow from the rear box. New carpets, not fitted and a new soft top, frame
good, unfitted. Boxes of spares/ manuals etc.
Car came with MX5 seats (a
popular upgrade) but these have been sold, and originals are now with the
car. Drivers side only loosely fitted at
the moment, as dash-board wiring/ heater and windscreen wiper mechanism needs
replacing. So everything there, just waiting for finishing. Previous owner had
lot of work done so have receipts etc.
Since purchasing the car we have moved house, and that has
come with horrendous problems that we have discovered after the move (still ongoing). I have also had a hip
and knee replacement so my mobility is not what it should be and therefore
there is a big problem for me getting in and out of the car. I am not able to enjoy
it as I would have liked and work has virtually come to a halt. It needs some
finishing and TLC. Sold as seen, no returns. Sorry, no warranty given or implied due to age of car. Will need to be
trailered or towed as Sorned.
Any questions please ask.
