YOU ARE BIDDING ON A 1973 TRIUMPH SPITFIRE 1500 CONVERTIBLE WITH A REMOVABLE HARDTOP. THE SPEEDOMETER SHOWS 74003 MILES HOWEVER ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO THE SPEEDOMETER CABLE BROKE AND I HAVE NOT REPLACED THE CABLE. THE VIN. NUMBER IS FM17068U. THIS IS A 99% RUST FREE NEW MEXICO CAR. THE CAR IS RED AND THE PAINT IS IN GOOD CONDITION. IT APPEARS THAT THE TRUNK LID WAS TOUCHED UP AT ONE TIME, HOWEVER IT APPEARS IT MUST HAVE JUST BEEN A FLAW IN THE PAINT SINCE THERE DOES NOT APPEAR TO HAVE BEEN ANY DAMAGE ON THE TRUNK LID. THE INTERIOR HAS BEEN REDONE IN A BLACK VINYL WITH RED CLOTH INSERTS WITH MATCHING DOOR PANELS. THE CARPETS ARE IN GOOD CONDITION BUT THERE IS SOME FADING FROM THE SUN. THE SPITFIRE COMES WITH THE REMOVABLE HARDTOP PLUS IT HAS THE TOP FRAME WITH THE CONVERTIBLE TOP. HOWEVER THE CONVERTIBLE TOP NEEDS TO BE REPLACED; IT IS NOT USABLE AS IT IS. THE CAR COMES WITH A RADIO, TOP BOOT, SPARE TIRE COVER, AND JACK. THE SPITFIRE HAS THE FOUR CYLINDER MOTOR WITH A WEBER CARBURETOR AND A FOUR SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION. THE CAR IS IN GOOD RUNNING AND DRIVING CONDITION. THE TIRES HAVE EXCELLENT TREAD HOWEVER THEY DO HAVE SOME SMALL DRY CRACKS BUT STILL VERY USABLE. THE CHROME IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION WITH NO PITTING. THE WINDSHIELD HAS SOME SCRATCHES FROM THE WIPERS; HOWEVER I AM INCLUDING A GOOD USED WINDSHIELD AND A BOX OF MISCELLANEOUS PARTS WITH THE CAR. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO COME INSPECT THE CAR BEFORE THE AUCTION ENDS OR HIRE AN INSPECTOR. THE TRIUMPH SPITFIRE IS PRICED BELOW MARKET VALUE ACCORDING TO THE NADA PRICE GUIDE FOR CLASSIC SPORTS CAR. ACCORDING TO THE NADA PRICE GUIDE LOW RETAIL IS $3400 (A CAR THAT IS IN MECHANICALLY FUNCTIONING CONDITION WITH NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR ON THE INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR). AVERAGE RETAIL IS $5500 ( CAR THAT IS IN GOOD OVERALL CONDITION AND COMPLETELY OPERABLE). HIGH RETAIL IS $7825 (CAR IS RESTORED OR A VERY LOW MILEAGE ONE OWNER CAR). SO YOU CAN SEE THAT THIS SPITFIRE IS PRICED TO SELL. THIS IS A 37 YEAR OLD CLASSIC SPORTS CAR AND IT IS SOLD "AS IS" WITH NO WARRANTY OR GUARANTEE OF ANY KIND EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED.
