1978 Triumph Spitfire 1500 - Soft Top, Hard Top, Tonneau. Runs Well, Spare Parts on 2040-cars
Norristown, Pennsylvania, United States
For sale is a very fun, very good looking Red on Tan Triumph
Spitfire 1500. It was manufactured in
1978 and titled in 1979. This car and is
waiting for a new owner to put on the finishing touches, or drive it as is and
just have fun. Mechanically, the car
runs very well. It has been garage kept
since I have owned it. It has newer
suspension components and brakes. The
interior was installed new about 5 years ago and is in in good condition. It
rides on brand new Minilite wheels and brand new Michelin tires. The paint job
is what I call a “10 foot paint job”; it looks great from 10 feet away, but
when you get closer you see various dings and nicks on it which are appropriate
for its age. You can see some of the nicks
and scratches in the hood in the pictures included. It includes a factory hard top, a soft top and a tonneau
cover. I have a brand new soft top
included with the sale of the car that just needs to be installed. Also you’ll notice in the pictures that the
emergency brake cover/console is missing.
I have that part, as well as a few other interior components, in the
original biscuit colored vinyl. These
parts will come with the car to be reupholstered in black or tan to match the
rest of the interior. Also include is the spare tire, a car cover (not pictured),
a Haynes shop manual, the cowling cover for the steering column (I’m missing
the screws to reinstall it) and some miscellaneous hardware not pictured. Please e-mail me with any questions on the Spitfire and I
will quickly respond. Also a
pre-purchase inspection is available most anytime in the evenings or weekends...
just e-mail for an appointment. Winning
bidder is to pay in full WITHIN (3) three days of winning the auction. Cashier’s check, money orders, personal check
(must clear first), or cash in person are all acceptable methods for
payment. If the winner wishes to use a
transport company or a trailer for delivery I will be happy to be available to
the driver to expedite a timely transfer.
The vehicle is being sold as is, where is with no warranty,
expressed written or implied. Any
descriptions or representations are for identification purposes only and are
not to be construed as a warranty of any type.

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.
