Lake Mary, Florida, United States

Lake Mary, Florida, United States

Pageant Blue 1980 Triumph Spitfire only 65,500 Actual Miles. I am the Third Owner.

Has Pageant Blue Removable hardtop (Valued at $500 if you can find it, see photo) and

Overdrive Transmission (which was a $1,500 option when purchased new) both items are a BONUS over most other Triumph spitfires!

Car is Located in Orlando, Florida Area.

New Seats, Carpet and interior side panels. Also recently replaced Master Cylinder.
This car is my everyday driver to work.

All electrical including map light work great. Engine is from 1980 and has not been rebuilt but runs very good.

In very good condition for a 34 year old Triumph. Gets lots of attention and heads turning when driven!

Installed new modern stereo "Retro Sound Zuma" with USB port for I pod or portable device.

Most Paint is Original has some imperfections but very good paint for a 34 year old car. Had bumpers re blackened.

Not Show quality paint but paint in very good condition
Has what I call minor paint starfish on hood but overall paint is very good. No dents. (see photos) 


Needs chrome molding installed around half of windshield (Contacted Auto Glass company and cost is $100)
I am not a mechanic however the only other issues I am aware of is small tear on soft top. If winning bidder decides to accept without fixing tear I will deduct $500 from winning bid.

There is a Crack on dash top by windshield due to sun and aging but to me not a big deal (can be seen on photo of interior). You can have an overlay installed if you wish.  

Otherwise I believe this is a very good car that has been preserved and kept in very good condition since 1980 which was the last year Triumph's were sold in the US.

Should be seen to be appreciated!! 

Only selling because I have two (2) Spitfires and wife wants one gone. 

GREAT CLASSIC COVERTIBLE FOR SPRING AND SUMMER FUN CRUISING

Comes with Tonneau cover and UV Car Cover.

Priced under Hagerty Car Value Index http://www.hagerty.com/valuationtools/HVT/VehicleSearch ($8,400) and Less than I have in it.

Also for sale locally at future British Car show so I reserve the right to cancel this auction if sold.

Winning Bidder, I can make arrangements to have your mechanic perform a inspection on vehicle prior to finalization of payment. 

Sold As Is No Warranty

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.
