Vehicle Detail
On Mar-03-15 at 17:54:10 PST, seller added the following information: This is a RESTORATION PROJECT. I have a clear title for this car. There is an extra engine from a 1970 and two extra transmissions. There is body work to be done. The floor pans rusted out years ago and someone put in plate steel. There are new floor pans, floor braces, trunk valence, trunk pan, and carpet. I've spent several hundred dollars on these parts. The tires are brand new (over $200 worth of rubber) and never used. The engine in the car is rebuilt (1989) but never driven. It has new pistons and rings from the UK. It is a 1174cc engine. The extra engine is also rebuilt and driven briefly. It came out of a 1970 Spitfire that I parted-out. There are other extra items from that car as well. The engine numbers are FK1861HESS (in the car) and GK1297HESS (extra). YOU MUST PICK UP THIS CAR in Haysi, Virginia. I WILL NOT SHIP IT. This was a project that I dreamed of doing for over 30 years but I cannot. Someone else will enjoy driving it. The car must be picked up on or by 3/21/15. I am moving and it cannot stay behind.On Mar-06-15 at 15:33:28 PST, seller added the following information: COME ON EBAY BIDDERS!! THIS IS A BUNCH OF GREAT STUFF FOR THE TRIUMPH ENTHUSIAST!! NOTICE THE OVERDRIVE TRANSMISSION IN THIS LOT?!? It is worth $$ hundreds $$ all by itself. TWO ENTIRE ENGINES!! Both are rebuilt one with no hours on it and the other with only a couple. Yes, both will need to be opened up and have the seals and gaskets replaced. The engine in the car has brand new pistons and rings shipped in from the UK. This is a RESTORATION PROJECT. I have a clear title for this car. There is an extra engine from a 1970 and two extra transmissions, one is an overdrive transmission. There is body work to be done (what early British car didn't have rust issues. But LOOK AT THE PICTURES!! There are NEW floor pans, new floor braces, NEW trunk valence, NEW trunk pan, and carpet. I've spent OVER $400 on these parts ALONE! The tires are BRAND NEW (over $200 worth of rubber) and never used. The engine in the car is rebuilt (1989) but never driven. It has new pistons and rings from the UK. The extra engine is also rebuilt and driven briefly. It came out of a 1970 Spitfire that I parted-out. There are other extra items from that car as well. The engine numbers are FK1861HESS (in the car) and GK1297HESS (extra). By my research they both are 1296cc. Even if you only want the car and not the extra stuff - BUY IT ALL AND THEN RESALE THE EXTRAS!! YOU WILL MAKE MONEY TO PAY FOR THE RESTORATION!! HELLO!! YOU MUST PICK UP THIS CAR in Haysi, Virginia. I WILL NOT SHIP IT. This was a project that I dreamed of doing for over 30 years but I cannot. Someone else will enjoy driving it. The car must be picked up on or by 3/21/15.
