1978 Triumph Spitfire, owned, babied and always kept garaged by two classic car collectors for the past 15 years. Not a show car but an excellent driver. I've taken it to several car shows over the years and it fits right in with the best of them. Always stored inside under a cover. Never driven in rain. 71,300 original miles4-speed, no overdriverare Brooklands green original Triumph colorfolder of parts and service receipts going back to the original ownerTriumph Spitfire shop manual and original owners manualzero oil leaks (yes, you read that right)Brakes, oil change, tune-up and transmission rear seal replaced this fallDual Monza Exhaustset of 5 Australian Superlite wheels with Potenza tiresnice tan houndstooth cloth interiororiginal carpet in good shape with Triumph rubber floor matsWood dash in excellent conditiontop is good with zip out rear windowall gauges work including speedo and odometeroriginal single SU carb converted to twin SU'ssmall chip and crack in windshield but replacement windshield is includedminor rust spots in dog legs repaired and painted.

It has an am-fm cassette deck but trust me, you'll never listen to it with the way this car sounds. I have 12 collector cars and will be selling my two Triumph's this winter. The other is a beautiful 1980 TR7 convertible in the same Brooklands green color- feel free to contact me if interested. Only selling to clear garage space for some spring shopping. Also for sale locally. Sold "as-is" and no warrantees or guarantees are given or implied. I have done my best to describe the overall condition of this car as I know it. I'm not a mechanic and I don't work on my cars, so while I will be happy to try and answer any questions, I am limited in my mechanical knowledge- I always have my collector cars serviced by a local European car specialist. Personal inspections are encouraged. I am located in Earlysville, Va., only a few miles from the Charlottesville, Va. airport.

Floyd, Virginia

Bought this car 6 years ago due to its rust free nature. It was garage kept for 15 yrs prior to my purchase and mostly garage kept since my ownership. Engine was shot and so, since I had spent 15 yrs of my life fighting a British engine, I decided to put a 1995 Miata 1.8L 16v DOHC 4 cyl, 5 speed transmission, and computer (fun) in it. It fit fairly easily....except the wiring job. Seems Mazda used a Mk3 Spitfire as the template for the Miata...go figure. I have been driving the car for 5 yrs with little problem. Only major issue was the pinion bearing in the rear end went out and so I rebuilt the rear end. I have 3 other project cars and this one needs to go so I can start on one of them. In the attached pictures you will see the few paint chips and ugliness, and some of the new stuff. Below is a comprehensive list of everything I can think of to tell you.This is a used car and thus no warranty but considering the nature of the car and the fact that I built it myself, I will give continued tech support for the life of me, you, or the car...whichever ends first. I will even help you do repairs if you want to do them yourself. I have an upholstery shop/garage. Sounds too good to be true but I enjoy sleeping at night and hate nasty phone calls....and i'll miss the little guy.Engine: 1995 1.8L 16v DOHC 4cyl.Transmission: 1995 Miata 5 Speed ManualMileage: Car=Approx. 50k.

You could get away without it for a while. Paint looks great at first glance but closer inspection reveals scratches and chips. Estimates I have gotten for going a completely different color range between 500 (Maaco) and 2300. The guy who painted my car still has some of the blue left over and is willing to cover and buff the scratches and chips if you desire to keep this color. Chrome bumpers from the 1979 and earlier can be fitted with little modification.Issues: Light smoke and valve ticking on start-up if its sat for a while. This is due to there not being any oil in the valve area after sitting a while, and possibly a bad piston ring. I had thought the valve seals would fix it, and they did mostly, but if it sits for a long time it smokes for a minute. No radio. Cant hear it anyway and without some modifications there is nowhere to put the speakers unless you want 4 inch ones in the doors.... Antenna is there and run to the radio slot if you want to do it.Possibly rust bubble but most likely bondo bubble. There is a seam between the hood assembly and fender assembly but when it was painted that seam was filled in with bondo...now its bubbling from, I assume, water getting in the back side of the seam.So that's about it. I've stated everything I can possibly think of. This car has to go bye-bye. I have other projects waiting. Come get it! Lots more pics at http://blacksburg.craigslist.org/cto/4626743824.html
