Description of 1978 Triumph Spitfire

1978 Triumph Spitfire, wned, abied 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.

Runs great and the Daytona exhaust has a growl that belies it's 1500 engine. It has an am-fm cassette deck but trust me, ou'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, o while I will be happy to try and answer any questions, 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, a., nly a few miles from the Charlottesville, a. airport.
