I just bought this car for $700. It did not run and nothing worked. The chassis is solid and the body for the most part is rust free.
audiwagen80's 1980 Triumph Spitfire The paint is faded, the dash is in a mess and there are wires hanging everywhere.
audiwagen80's 1980 Triumph Spitfire The engine is all there and after changing the plugs and rebuilding the carb, it ran fine. In fact it does not even have to turn over a full turn before firing up. Amazing for a 26 year old car.
audiwagen80's 1980 Triumph Spitfire The exhaust is all there and works fine. Any one has a spare back bumper for sale?
