Vehicle Detail

1979 Triumph Spitfire You are bidding on my 1979 Triumph Spitfire- I have owned and enjoyed this car for the past 5 years. This car is in really nice shape for the age and needs an owner that is going to take care of her. The car has been used very little in the 5 years I have owned it. It was only taken on short trips on sunny days. The little triumph has original 59,036 miles on the clock. I have always garaged it and it appears the previous owners did as well. The top is in pretty good shape not perfect, look at the pictures. I am also including the top boot cover as can be seen in some of the pictures. I had the carb rebuilt last year and now the engine runs and idles smoothly. Although the car is in nice shape it does have the usual finicky British car quirks. Sometimes the wiper switch is hard to turn off. It may need a new battery as I don’t know how well it holds charge anymore. The paint shines very nicely as can be seen in the pictures. You will also notice that there are the usual small dings, chips and scratches (It is 32 years old). There is a small of rust starting to form on the lower rocker corners look at the pictures. It’s not bad but feels I should mention it. In my opinion this is a very nice condition Spitfire, it would not take much work to make this into a A1 condition Spitfire. I have included plenty of pictures and a video clip in this auction so you can be certain what you are buying. If you need any more pictures of other areas let me know, and ask before you bid! Click the link below to see more pictures. View additional photos of the Triumph by clicking link below!! https://picasaweb.google.com/bmcgarage/Triumph# I would strongly suggest looking at the car in person before bidding. Be certain you understand you are buying a car, not just viewing a car. I have described the car as honestly as possible and feel the next owner will be getting a fun car to enjoy. The car is titled in my name and is free of any leans. If you need additional photos of certain areas ask me I will take them for you. The car is being sold AS-IS, WHERE IS. Please ask all questions before you bid! If you have less than 5 feedbacks email me before you bid or I will remove your bid. Winning bidder must pay a $250.00 non refundable deposit within 48hours of auction close on my pay pal. The car must be picked up at 44241 Ohio at winning bidders expense within 2 weeks of auction close. I will not ship this car out of the country! You can probably drive the car home if you don’t live to far, but that’s totally up to you. View Video clip of Triumph in Action!
