Used 1977 Triumph Spitfire Used Manual Convertible Convertible 1500ccL Gasoline

Seller Description

I recently
completed a driver-quality restoration on this nice 1977 TRIUMPH SPITFIRE convertible,
refinished in its original TRIUMPH Delft Blue.

It is not a show car, but the mechanical
work is done and it is a fun, reliable and presentable weekend driver. It
starts easily on the automatic choke, runs smoothly and cool with strong
acceleration and good oil pressure, shifts smoothly, and it handles and brakes
as expected for a 40-year-old British sports-car. All lights, turn-signals,
hazard flashers, windshield wipers, horn and other notorious Lucas electrics
work as designed (today, ha-ha!). The actual mileage is unknown because the speedometer
was missing when I purchased the car and mileage is indicated as “exempt” on
the title.

There are
still some things you can tinker with if you want. I didn’t install a radio although I put
speaker wires under the carpet and there is an antenna to add one later if
desired. The heater box is bypassed (I thought it was unnecessary in central
FL). There is a little play in the U-joint on the driver-side half-axle that may
eventually need to be addressed. There is no key for the door and trunk locks.
You could install new locksets if desired. None of these things are necessary
if you just want a fun weekend driver!
I have a clear
Florida title in my name. Inspections are welcomed PRIOR to auction completion.
