1976 Triumph Spitfire "barn Find" on 2040-cars
Riverside, California, United States
Rare find. 1976 Triumph Spitfire. Just did full tune up and fluid change. Installed new tires. Runs and drives nice. Needs a little TLC in the interior. The exhaust was all replaced.The dash pad is cracked. The seats are showing wear. There is NO radio in the car, speakers are there but the radio was removed at one point or another. The front struts have been replaced. The car overall is in great shape for a surviver. I didn't find any rust on the car. Did a little tuning to the carb and it runs like a champ. All electrical works as designed. Lights, turn signals, heater, wipers, brakes all in working condition. Body is strait and does not appear to have any repairs. I can tell the car was repainted sometime in the past. I washed off the years of dust and clayed the paint and polished it. It isn't show quality but looks really nice and shines great. The wheels have been painted the same color as the car.
This will be a good low cost investment. They are getting harder and harder to find in this good of shape. I have a very low reserve set on the car. I am hoping to sell it at auction the first go around. Got it for my daughter and she wants something newer with AC. So I am just trying to get my money that I put into it back. Good Luck, and Thank you for looking at it. |

Jaguar F Type V6 S vs Triumph Street Triple R in open-air track attack
Sun, 21 Sep 2014Typically, 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.
