1979 SPITFIRE 1500

Description for Triumph Spitfire 1979

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, ux and Satellite Radio

General Over view:

The body is all metal, o rust or bondoanywhere. 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!
