Finished in Pageant blue, this sporty little Spitfire is a decent, usable example in tidy overall condition.
The paintwork is even, if a little flat in places, and there is also a small patch of bubbling on the rear drivers side arch.
The chromework is good and the Triumph also features aftermarket chrome bullet mirrors.
The wheels are in good condition with matching tyres present.
The interior is clean and tidy, and the hood appears in good condition. There is a tonneau cover in the boot together with some assorted spare parts.
There has been substantial recent expenditure, notably an invoice for £408 from May 2024 for a new battery, coil, condenser, distributor, contact set, rotor arm, and spark plugs. The fuel pump was also taken out at the same time and cleaned.
The Spitfire is correctly registered as Historic now that it is over 40 years old.
HPi clear and offered with one key.
PLEASE NOTE: On driving the Spitfire for our video, the gear change is very vague and gears are tricky to engage. Once engaged it did perform nicely and sounded great.
