FOR SALE

1980   Make:  Triumph  Model:  Spitfire   Color:  Maroon

Engine:  1.5-Liter  Inline 4 cylinder      Transmission:  4-Speed Manual

Rejuvenation!

My intent was to get this Spitfire road worthy so someone else could enjoy the fun of driving this car.  (I have three other Spitfires)

This Spitfire is a “Driver” and after it was rejuvenated it has been driven.  From Montgomery, Alabama it’s been driven all around locally plus other trips.  One trip from Montgomery it was driven to visit Gatlinburg, Tennessee, The Tail of the Dragon, TN, the Biltmore House in Ashville, North Carolina and the “Wheels Through Time” museum in Maggie Valley, NC.  Another trip was to Pulaski, TN and then over to Lynchburg, TN to visit the “Jack Daniels Distillery”.  Since the Spitfire has been back on the road it has driven over 4000 mile and it drives great.   It’s fun to drive on back country roads and it drives good on the Interstate going 70 mph.  

Known History:  Original this 1980 Spitfire had rubber bumpers but were later changed to chrome bumpers. This Spitfire was purchased from a fellow British Car Club member in late 2016. A father & son had acquired the car in 1998 as a bonding project.  They drove the Spitfire for several years but later put it aside in a home garage for over 10 years.  When I purchased the Spitfire it looked good but just needed some mechanical attention.  It needed to be rejuvenated.  

Below is a photo on the Overlook Highway outside Gatlinburg, TN in the spring of 2017.

The Gold at the end of the Rainbow.

The rejuvenation process: The Spitfire was easy to start.  Changed the oil, flush the cooling system and just put gas in the carburetor and it started right up.  After it was running the next thing to do was to find out what all it needed to get road worthy and trouble free.  Below is a list of most of the items replaced, installed or added. Some of the major systems replaced are: the brakes system, both the hydraulics and hardware; suspension system components; fuel system; wheels & tires; driveline; exhaust system and more.  The electrical system and harness is in good shape.   This Spitfire currently has approximately 74,700 miles on the odometer.
