This is a 1979 Triumph Spitfire with 33100 original miles.

I am the third owner of this car, and I've driven it about 6000 miles over the past six years. The previous owner bought it from the first owner 5 years prior and kept it garaged, never really using it.

This car has very little rust. There is some mild surface rust under the brake and clutch master cylinders and a couple of other spots. There is practically no rust underneath the car -- it was coated many years ago with a rust protectant. These can be viewed in the pictures.

The paint is original and has the imperfections you would expect of an almost 50-year-old car. There is a crack in the paint on the front hood, along with mild scratches on the car's sides. These can also be viewed in the pictures.

The car drives well overall and shifts smoothly. It can be a little hard to start in warm weather due to vapor lock, but it will start every time with the electric fuel pump.

I have receipts for most of the parts that I added and replaced. I also have receipts from the previous owner of work that was done on the car before I owned it.
