1977 Triumph Spitfire 1500 Convertible.

2 barrel Weber carburator

Vintage aftermarket wheels

Custom Monza exhaust

This would make a great project or parts car.

I purchased this car in 2002 from a vocational school in Oklahoma where it was a project for the automotive students. It was in very good condition, but not something you would put in a competition. It was meant to be a project car, but I never really paid as much attention to it as I should have. I never got around to registering it in Texas so it still has an Oklahoma title.

I have not driven/touched the car in about five years. It cranks but will not start. The tires must be replaced. The speedometer and odometer stopped working around 2007. The odometer reads 64677 but it is probably 164677. The convertible top was new in 2002 but with age it has shrunk and does not fit right where it snaps to the body.

The Matchbox logos are decals and come off easily.

Other than not starting, everything else pretty much works. The seats are in good shape. With a couple of weekends of work it would be ready for the road again.

Why am I selling the car? I need to make room in the garage for another car.

Shipping: Seller can arrange and I can do my best to help.

Payment: Cashier's check due upon winning the auction. Will not ship without payment.

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.
