AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Triumph Spitfire fourth series.

Externally the car is in excellent condition. The red color together with the spoke wheels makes it very beautiful and pleasant to look at and to drive. There are no paint defects to report apart from minor scratches on the center of the hood. For the rest, the car is sound and has no rust. The steel bumpers are in excellent condition. They have no marks and are not damaged. The doors close well and the seals have no leaks. The hood is also in excellent condition and all the hinges and latches work. The wheels and tires are like new. There are no defects to report regarding headlights and lamps. Door mouldings and door-edge scratches are pristine and in excellent condition. The plastics on the front and rear bumpers are also pristine. The underbody is completely sound. No accidents or damaged parts resulting from impact are reported. There are no patches or repairs that indicate bodywork.

The engine runs smoothly and starts right away. The braking system works reasonably well, but before road use a check-up of the brakes should be performed. The clutch is in good condition and gears engage well. Oil and coolant have been replaced. There are no leaks, and the car starts well even when cold and idles smoothly.

The condition of the interior is excellent, except for a few wooden spots on the dashboard. Unfortunately, due to the sun, as with many similar models, the wood has deteriorated and needs to be replaced. The leather is excellent. No wrinkles and no folds. The rubber floor mats have the Triumph logo, and underneath the carpet it is sound and without tears. The soft top is in excellent condition. It has no tears, opens and closes well, and the internal latches operate without difficulty. The interior indicators work.


Spare wheel and original jack.
Italian-born car.
