Description of 1964 Triumph Spitfire

Rare 1964 Spitfire Mark I for sale with a low reserve. Not many of these are still on the road. I purchased it two years ago with hope of making into a daily driver, ut did not quite make it. I would like to make room for a newer roadster in my garage.
This car is sold AS IS. It starts and runs, ut aswith most old triumphs, t has been in and out of the shop with various issues since I've owned it. It is generally drive-able around town, ut once it heats up it will sometimes idle down and stall upon parking and will not re-start for a while, s if the engine is flooded. This may be a vapor lock or some other simple adjustment to the carbs, ut I'm not sure. Also, he thrust washers that hold the crank shaft in place wore out and have been replaced, ut there is still some play in the shaft, ndicating that problem may or may not be fully resolved.
The body is in decent shape for a 50-year-old car, ith a few chips to the paint shown on the photographs. The seats are replacements and torn. They are covered with seat covers The interior could use some sprucing up. The speedometer and tachometer gauges are not functioning and likely need to be replaced. On the other hand, he fuel and heat gauges work well. I've installed stereo with an mp3 adapter. Other newer items include: soft top, rakes, teering, nd clutch. The electrical system appears to work pretty well. The car comes with a hard top as well.
Overall, his is a great classic roadster, ut please know that it cannot be guaranteed. For the right person who is either mechanically handy or knows someone who is, t could make a great project car.
A deposit is due within two days of the close of the auction. The winning bidder will be responsible for arranging and paying for shipment or pick up, ut I can deliver locally in the Boise, daho area to a shipping point.
