1966 Triumph Spitfire Mk3 on 2040-cars
Murrieta, California, United States
1966
Triumph Spitfire with a body off restoration.
New paint, new interior, new tires and so much more to include a ton of
“British” custom items that no other Triumph has. 1200cc engine, 4 speed over drive
transmission out of a 70s triumph TR 4.
Striped, epoxy primed the floors and under body then painted.
Refurbished fuel tank, sprayed acid in body panels to neutralize rust, rebuilt
leaf spring, painted drums, driveshaft, axels and frame. Spoke rims were sand blasted and powder
coated. New 13” tires mounted after rims
were completed. 2 full size spares come with the vehicle. 12volt conversion, weber
carb, new steering joint and new water pump installed. There is a small standard oil drip from the
transmission and differential. Runs
great but could use a longer exhaust (exhaust cut for racing sound by previous
owner). We were told the engine had a
lower end rebuild about a hundred miles beforehand and a camber compensator was
installed. You can see that we have
customized the door panels and cover. We
did not complete the drivers and passenger’s compartments and did not add the
dash cover. We also have all new knobs
for the dash but previous owner glued the old ones on there and we did not want
to attempt changing them out. All lights
and signals work and we have a new horn button on order and will be here before
the end of the auction. Will supply that
and several other new parts with the vehicle.
Vehicle has no top. You can see
from our feedback that we do classic VW’s for our hobby and this was something
new we thought we would try. This car
will take very little to have the perfect Spitfire. Previous owner was building this as a racecar
and we brought the cosmetics back to classic so you have one heck of a
car. This car is also available locally
for sale and we reserve the right to end the auction early if purchased. |

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.
