1979 Triumph Spitfire

1979 Triumph Spitfire – Classic British Roadster

80,000 miles | 4-Speed Manual w/ Electric Overdrive | Clean Title | Runs & Drives

I’m selling my 1979 Triumph Spitfire, a charming little British sports car with lots of potential. I inherited it about 5 years ago, and while I don’t have a complete history, I do know the previous owner rebuilt the engine and put very few miles on it afterward.

Highlights:

• Rebuilt 4-cylinder engine

• 4-speed manual transmission with electric overdrive (switch on shifter knob)

• Hardtop and soft top included

• Runs and drives well: Holds oil pressure, doesn’t overheat, charging system works

• Clean title in hand

Needs:

• Tires (current set is worn, but I have a second set of brand-new spoked rims with tires available for extra)

• Driver’s side rocker panel is rusted and needs to be replaced

• Could use some love and finishing touches, but it’s a solid car overall

Extras:

• Boxes of spare parts from the engine rebuild and other components

• Would be a great project for a British car enthusiast or someone looking for a fun weekend driver

This Spitfire was truly loved by its previous owner, and I’d like to see it go to someone who will give it the same attention. I just have too many projects and not enough time.
