2 Dr. Conv. British Racing Green 1980 1500 on 2040-cars
Readsboro, Vermont, United States
The very good: Total paint job years ago involved vehicle striped to bare metal. No rust anywhere to be found.Very solid vehicle. New electronic distributor,rebuild Weber carb.,new high performance exhaust,with header.New Timing gears and chain. New master cylinder,clutch slave cylinder,new clutch and pressure plate,throw out bearing. New brake rotors,brake discs, and shoes. New rubber brake hoses. All new Michelin tires all around. New seats Houndstooth pattern and new carpets installed. New convertible top installed.New battery. New dimmer switch and headlight assembly installed. Wipers work, heater works. Drives very strong and shifts beautifully in all gears. The mileage is stated as 43185,which could be correct, but I can't guarantee that as I don't know. I do know it was sold in 1993 to a second owner I believe and it had 40545 miles on the title. The Spitfire was then put in storage and the body work was done down to the bare metal and painted. The vehicle was sold in 2005 and the new owner did the restoration to the sum of $7000.00 FOR PARTS AND LABOR. The Bad: Easy weekend tinkering can fix the signal lights and go through the car to check systems. The headlights work, running lights work,high and low beam.There is dash lights and interior lights and running lights all the way around. The heater works and the wipers move,the horn works. The rest will have to be sorted out. The paint should be buffed out as there are two minor scuffing parts on the paint where someone tried to wax the car. I am not a mechanic but I am a serious gearhead and I can tell you this car is strong and a blast to drive. It is not registered as of yet.I drove it around our private roads in my complex and it goes through the gears like butter. This car will have a title which is an old title that was never filled out by last owner.It will be included. However it will be sold with a bill of sale,as Vermont is a non-titled State for vehicles that old. I want a 500.00 payment to pay pal for a deposit and the rest in cash if you are going to pick it up, or a bank check which must clear before vehicle is moved. I will assist anybody who comes to transport vehicle, but don't want to get involved with any arrangements. You are buying this vehicle as is, there is no warranty or gaurantee what so ever. It is a project vehicle and I told you honestly it needs only minor electrical work to the best of my knowledge. As you see the vehicle in the pictures is how I am selling it. The only reason I decided to sell it was that it is a tad to small for my fat as-. to climb in and out of. Thank you for considering it. Any questions I will try to answer as best I can.

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.
