AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This very charming and beautiful 1969 Triumph Spitfire 1300 MK3 is a real eye-catcher. The car has deregistered German registration documents and requires some technical work. This Spitfire is located in Hengevelde, the Netherlands.
EXTERIOR:
There are only very minor signs of use, which is understandable given that the car is now 57 years old. Please see the photos.
It has a very tidy fabric soft top, which is manually operated (easy to open and close) and in good condition. This is truly a pampered fair-weather car, and the top has hardly ever been used. The tonneau cover shown is, of course, included. The car is fitted with attractive original wire wheels and good tires. The underside of the car is in very good condition. The bodywork paint looks very tidy, while the chrome parts could do with a polish. In short, a very tidy car.
MECHANICAL:
The car has not been used for years. The last owner bought it in 1999 and enjoyed several years of lovely drives in it. Unfortunately, he recently became ill, which is also the reason the car is being sold. A new battery was recently fitted, and the engine turns freely; it can be started with some starting fluid. It therefore really needs a service, and the brakes should also be checked. The handbrake does work. New brake shoes for the drum brakes are included.
INTERIOR:
The interior is very tidy, with only minor signs of use. The dashboard and door panels are also in particularly nice condition, as are the carpeting and floor mats.
DOCUMENTS:
With the deregistered German registration documents and the owner's purchase invoice included, a new buyer can easily register the Triumph.
TRANSPORT:
The car is located in Hengevelde, the Netherlands, and can of course be collected here. Delivery within the Netherlands is available at an additional cost (excluding the Wadden Islands).
The seller can arrange relatively inexpensive delivery of the car anywhere in the EU through a professional transport company.

Disclaimer
Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
