Take a look at this Triumph Spitfire!  This is a solid car that you can get in and drive.  I bought this car from a retired school teacher four years ago. It was her baby- garage kept- always covered- never saw rain or snow. She no longer had the time and patience to maintain the car.
Since I have had it I brought it mechanically up to snuff:

 - New U-joints all around
 - New Brakes
 - New Poly Transmission Tunnel and Insulation
 - Repaired Electric Overdrive- (Big Difference for Road Touring)
 - New Heater Control Valve
 - New fluids all around 
 - Pioneer /Jensen Radio and sound system- CD, Aux and Satellite Radio

General Over view:

Body:

The body is all metal, no rust or bondo anywhere. Paint has a small crack in the Bonnet at the flex point just above the headlight- sealed with matching touch-up paint- All around a few stone chips in the paint- This car cleans up real nice !

Chassis:

The chassis is solid- suspension is tight- No squeaks or rattles- A blast to drive on the curves!

Drivetrain:

New U-Joints on axle and drive shaft. Transmission shifts smooth
- Lots of clutch
- E Overdrive flawless
- Engine runs strong- Idles smooth
- Good rubber- 80%

- Like most vintage British roadsters this one has a  small Rear Seal and Differential Oil Leak
   that needs to be inspected and topped-off at the start of driving season.

Interior:

PERFECT! 
-No tears, cuts or cracks-Including Dash
- Reapolstered  Hounds Tooth and Black scheme
- Clean intact carpet-w/ set of floor mats
- All gauges and indicator lights working

Other stuff:

- Comes with nice Tonneau cover with center zipper
- Convertable top is perfect- No tears or marks anywhere
- Built in Battery Minder for Winter Storage
- Rear Wheel Hub Puller (a necessity when doing axel or bearing work)

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.
