1975 Triumph Spitfire for sale. The car was a restored about 27 years ago, I am the second owner. The paint still shines like new. The car looks very good in person, shines very well, and has no dents or scratches. The chrome on the bumpers are in excellent condition and polishes up nicely. The Mimosa Yellow paint job is the original color, however, parts of the car have been repainted. From what I have found, the stickers on the side of the car were put on at the dealership when the car was new. Not much info is available on them. It has probably only had 1000 miles put on it in the last 10 years. Always stored indoors since I have owned it. No rust. There is 1 little "bubble" that has been on the front fender for about the last 15 years, it has never gotten any bigger. It is about 1/8" in size.

-Ad states that the car has 79,000 miles on it. Speedo quit working about 300 miles ago so mileage is not exact.

-Motor was rebuilt about 20 years ago. At that time, new oil pump was installed, block was bored, new pistons were installed, and head was done. Motor is very strong and sounds good. The stock electronic ignition was upgraded to an earlier points style ignition.

-Clutch, pressure plate, and throw out bearing have less then 1000 miles on them. Clutch and brake master cylinders were replaced at the same time. No overdrive.

-Convertible top is in good shape with one small 1/2" size rip, windows are clear. Car comes with tonneau and boot covers, both which are in excellent shape. Car also comes with a custom fit car cover, this one is made for a spitfire, not the generic one that hangs on the ground.

-Tires need to be replaced.

-Carpets are ok. The vinyl on the seats is ripped under the seat covers. The door panels are in excellent condition.

I'm sure I'm forgetting something about this car, If you have any questions, please ask. This is a very solid and reliable car. I would not, and have not, been afraid to hop in it and drive for up to 3 hours. I have never had any issues with the car. The only reason I am selling is that the car never gets driven anymore. Not enough room in it for me, the wife, and two car seats, plus it's taking up valuable garage space.

Bidders are encouraged to come and look at the car before bidding. Selling with no reserve. Bidders with zero feedback must contact me first or bids will be cancelled. A $500.00 non-refundable deposit is due within 24 hours of the auction ending. Remainder due within 48 hours of the auction ending. I will accept paypal or cash at pick up.

Jaguar F Type V6 S vs Triumph Street Triple R in open-air track attack

Sun, 21 Sep 2014

Typically, these track battle videos pair up car against car or, in more disparate circumstances, car versus crossover, as we saw the other day. While the outcome of that battle was quite predictable, what'll happen when an equally fetching (and fast) four-wheeler is put up against one of the icons of the two-wheeled world? Evo just had to find out.
Matching up a Jaguar F-Type V6 S Convertible against a Triumph Street Triple R is at least more of an even fight than the last battle between the Porsche Cayman GTS and Macan Turbo. The Triumph has a 675-cc engine to work with, and is very light. Meanwhile, the Jag has a thumping 380-horsepower, 3.0-liter, supercharged V6 to haul about it's considerably heftier heft. Who will come out on top?
You'll need to watch the full video to find out.
