1978 Triumph Spitfire Base Convertible 2-door 1.5l on 2040-cars
Burke, Virginia, United States
This car caught fire in 2007 while being driven. The fire started at the fusebox on the
engine side of the firewall and then spread via the tunnel to the passenger compartment, completely destroying the interior of the car. Some external engine parts (alternator, distributor, etc.) were also damaged. The body, bonnet, trunk, suspension, wheels and front and right side of the engine were untouched. The car comes with undamaged original Stromberg carb. and manifold, jack, SS wheel trim rings and spare tire. This would make an excellent parts car or a project car for someone who wants to do a complete restoration. It has the electric overdrive transmission. |

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.
