Description for Triumph Spitfire 1979
Take a look at this Triumph Spitfire!
This is a solid car I bought 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:
Body:
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!
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 asmall Rear Seal and Differential Oil Leak
that needs to be inspected and topped-off at the start of driving season.
Interior:
PERFECT!
-No tears, uts or cracks-Including Dash
-Reupholstered Hounds Tooth and Black scheme
- Clean intact carpet-w/ set of floor mats
- All gauges and indicator lights working
Other stuff:
