1969 Triumph Spitfire Mark 3 Convertible

This vehicle has been sitting outside for 23-years, needs complete restoration, or use for parts. The only rust is on the floors due to sitting outside unprotected, the floors have holes under the foot area, will need to be replaced/repaired (see close-up photos of floors). I bought it in January, 2012, here in Sparks, Nevada, from a man who had owned it since 1984. He had it stored outside, next to his garage, since moving to Nevada from California in 1990. Reverse gear went out and he never got around to fixing it other than buying two used transmissions, they are included with the car.

I replaced all the tires with good, used ones, and got the engine running. I have posted a video showing the engine starting and running in my garage. Go to YouTube, search for title: "1969 Triumph Spitfire, engine runs first time in over 20-years!". I have two other car projects I am working on and need to sell the Triumph.

Please read the Condition Description which lists all the defects. I have a clear, Nevada title in my name.

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.
