1969 Triumph Spitfire Mark 3

1969 Triumph Spitfire

1969 Triumph Spitfire - Mark 3: this car has not had a ground up restoration, but looks and runs great, is in very sound mechanical shape and very good cosmetic shape, rust free and is a true "head-turner”!This car is fun to drive and is easy to maintain. I love this car but due to new job and new residence, I simply don't have the time to enjoy it and lack an adequate place to maintain it properly for the long term.This car is garage-kept and covered / not seen rain since 2010 acquisition. The car has one slight scratch on left front fender, and the driver-side door does not line up perfectly with the body at the base.The blower motor is inoperable.It does leak oil slightly - but seems most all these cars do. Included is a hard top (painted but not restored, with carrier rack and almost all parts for restoration.) Also included is the original intake manifold and carburetors.
