Vehicle Detail

This is a sports car enthusiasts dream, and the perfect car for a novice to start his or her hobby in the collector car environment. Simple for one to learn how to drive a stick shift on, and a blast to drive once you have mastered the art of shifting a 4 speed. Easy to work on, with inexpensive parts available from numerous suppliers all across the US, and over seas. This particular example is what is known as a survivor/driver, wearing its original, paint, interior, dealer installed striping, and 38 year old patina. However if you are looking for a full on show car, this is the one for you, too! With a small additional investment in cosmetic improvements this car becomes a "best in class" show winner at any local car show, and most national events. It is being sold along with all the original accessories, full cockpit cover, convertible boot, spare, jack, and tool kit. Believe me, if you are looking for a fun toy car that gets looks wherever it goes, and can be driven any time, or place this is the toy for you. It has some minor cosmetic imperfections, but absolutely NO RUST. I am the third owner and it has earned me 3 trophies in the two years I've enjoyed driving and showing it. I have owned several foreign and domestic sports cars over the years, and this Spit has been a joy to drive. Sadly, I am not wealthy enough to afford all the toys, so I am faced with the decision to sell my Spit. Feel free to contact me if you have additional questions, or care to make a reasonable offer, for the right amount I will toss in some spare parts, and the trophies it has earned.
