This 1976 Triumph Spitfire is a very original and low-mileage California car. The seller says this is the real deal and among the best survivor Spitfires around with 22k miles and all original paint. The car is sold with its factory hardtop and is in unrestored condition apart from OEM style replacement carpets and replacement consumables to keep it a reliable driver. A service log from the original owner documents maintenance through 2005 and 19k miles, and the car benefits from a recent major service that included new shocks, new brakes, new master cylinder, new spark plugs and wires, and more detailed below.

The seller says paint is all original and extremely well preserved on top of straight panels with factory set gaps. All chrome, stainless and other trim including plastics and rubber are in in equally good condition, and the factory hardtop seen here has very good glass and seals tightly against side windows and the windshield header rail.

A few small dings are present, but overall condition is impressive. Tires have ample remaining tread and are mounted on clean factory wheels with OEM center caps. Notw the clean nose graphics.

Aging original carpet was replaced with an OEM carpet kit, however the interior is otherwise completely original. Upholstery, trim, dash top, wood veneers and even the steering wheel show light wear, and all gauges, lights, switches and accessories like the factory AM/FM radio work. The convertible top is original as well, and displays no heavy creasing, fraying fabric, yellowing/cracking plastic or any other issues. A factory tonneau cover is also included.

The car’s cleanliness is particularly evident in the condition of the engine side panels and surrounding firewall and frame metal, areas which are commonly caked with grease and road grime. Within the past 3,000 miles the car has received a complete tune, new fluids, an new filters.

More recently it’s benefited from new shocks and springs all around, a complete brake overhaul with new front pads and rear drums, a new brake master cylinder, stainless steel brake lines, new distributor cap and rotor, new aluminum radiator and new water pump. Extras include an unfitted Rimmer Bros header and exhaust system, and the car is ready for shows and rallies.
