Vehicle Detail
Selling a 1980 Triumph Spitfire. Bought as a project and didn't have the time. Read on for full details. I have tried to be as complete and fair as possible in the description. This is not a car to jump in and drive, but it is a great first project, with a solid tub and good motor, and parts are amazingly cheap. Details: -Drivetrain: car runs, but roughly. It has an aftermarket Weber DGV that could use a rebuild. Transmission is good - shifts smoothly through all four gears, and reverse. I put in a new alternator, and the battery and starter both look recently replaced. Rear differential weeps a bit, but not severely. No whine from the back that I can detect. Exhaust system needs replacing. -Brakes: I replaced the brakes on all four corners with new parts from Moss: new calipers, rotors and pads up front, new cylinders, shoes, springs and drums in back -interior: interior is tan cloth - it is rough and will need to be re-done.conv. top mechanicals in good shape, but canvas was perished so I removed it. -exterior: body is pretty straight without much rust, except the driver's floor pan, which has a hole and needs replacing. Paint is faded and will need doing. -other: I got halfway through a chrome bumper conversion on this car. I have both chrome bumpers but they are no on. Both are in decent shape, but will need re chroming to be pristine. NOTE - Bill of sale only for this car. No title is required in CT for cars over 25 years old. Sorry, I can't arrange for shipping. Local pick up or seller arranges shipping only please. Thanks.
