RELISTED due to no communication from previous buyer Triumph Spitfire MKIV with the 1500 engineRuns very well, I recently drove pacific coast highway LA to Big Sur and back. Overdrive not working however. Mileage unknown but I have had the engine overhauled, see below. Car is CA Smog exempt due to ageThere's a lot of money's worth in the accessories but I won't lie, the car would benefit from additional work.For someone who breaks down cars for parts, this would be a big money maker, a rebuilt engine itself is worth almost $3,000 now and the body panels are sought after. There's a very large Spitfire community I'm Moving back to the UK at the end of this month so the car needs to go. I simply do not have the time for buyers that aren't serious so I am asking for an immediate deposit of $500. Full payment within 3 days. This is secure and the buyer is protected through ebay. Shipping is to be arranged by the buyer at the earliest chance but I am willing to drive to you (within reason) and you can pay for my fuel and rent-a-car back. Please contact me for any questions, a viewing etc. It is advertised elsewhere so it may sell. I am honest, I have a lot of good ebay feedback and I have priced the car for a quick sell.Parts are very easy to find at Mossmotors, British parts North West, Victoria British, Rimmer Bros etc. INCLUDED WITH THE CAR:Colour matched Hard top, (worth about $500)Convertible top, (worth $600 new)Roll bar, (worth about $500)Set of 5 aluminium alloy wheels (need polishing up)Bluetooth radio with subwoofer and 6x9 speakersUpholstered seats (worth about $400)ENGINE MODS:1500 engineWeber carburetor (Mossmotors; $530 with intake manifold)Canon intake manifoldRace exhaust manifold (about $200)Straight through stainless exhaust pipeNew, larger aluminium radiator (2 new electric fans not installed - about $200)Unleaded fuel conversionNew piston rings and cylinder honingNew big end bearingsValves re-seatedNew timing chainNew clutch and slave cylinder (all the above is worth a lot)ISSUES:Overdrive doesn't workWiring all works but its very messyPaint not in perfect condition, small chips here and thereDriver side window winds up and down but not smoothlyWindscreen looks like it may be original, it has a lot of sand pitting and should really be replaced (approx $200 for the parts - easily obtainable)Overall, the car would benefit from some work.Can be driven away but the extras, like one of the roofs and all the extra wheels will require an additional truck to carry them away, buyers responsibility.
