Triumph Spitfire Nice Driver - 25 Year History File - Many New PartsNo Reserve

Up for auction is my brothers 1978 Triumph Spitfire. He bought the car not taking into account his 6'4 build and can't comfortably sit in the car so he's asked me to sell her for him. She's a well taken care of car as you'll see in the auction photos and in the description. Have a service history / file going back to the 90's on the car. If your looking at this auction then you know a "No Reserve" auction with a starting bid of just $1.00 is extremely rare thing to see, even more rare to see one in this condition selling at No Reserve. Highest bidder at the end of the auction takes her home.

Mechanicals: The car runs and sounds great. Starts right up with no issues, smoke or ticking noises. Recent tune up, oil change and air filter replaced. Nice clean and tidy engine bay. Still retains all the original smog equipment including the original smog pump which you never see on these cars. Inner hood and fender wells look great. Has strong clutch and brake peddles. And the hand brake works as well. Needs nothing to my knowledge at this time.

Exterior: This is a nice driver quality car. Sports the chrome luggage rack and chrome door side mirrors. All glass is clear and scratch / cloud free. All chrome exterior pieces including the bumpers are in excellent condition. Like new tires and chrome wheel trim rings. New rear taillights look great. Nice door and panel fit. Nice front & rear lower valances, rockers panels and bumpers. Not an expert but I find no signs of rust or rust repairs on the exterior of the car. Car as I understand it spent much of its life in California and Nevada Again, a nice driver quality car. There are a few blemishes / flaws in the front hood paint but they don't show up in the photos. Just being as open / honest as possible.

Interior: In very good condition as seen in the photos. Very nice dash. Newer carpet kit, newer door seals and new Triumph logo floor mats. Seats are in good condition but the pattern is not correct. But don't fret as the car comes with new correct seat and headrest covers that I ordered directly from England.

Electrical's: At last check all exterior lights and dash gauge lights where working.

Gauges: All gauges are correct "Smith" brand.

Soft Top: The soft top is in good condition. Needs 1 maybe 2 snaps on the body replaced.

Underbody: As seen in the auction photos she's clean and original.
