This 1970 Triumph Spitfire MKIII is a running and driving project that was stored for about 20 years by the original owner’s family before being acquired by the seller last year. Cosmetics remain in driver quality with an older repaint and noted imperfections in the bodywork, though the 1296cc inline-four runs well following a mechanical refresh by the seller. This included fresh fluids along with a new radiator, fuel and water pumps, tires, front and rear brakes, voltage regulator, battery, and generator. The car is offered at no reserve with a clear Wisconsin title in the seller’s name.

The yellow repaint covers an earlier pale yellow that is still visible on the underside of the engine hood. There is a noticeable issue with the leading gap of the driver’s door, and additional imperfections include dents and areas of corrosion as pictured in the gallery.

The seller recently fitted new tires to the 13″ wheels, which show some haze and light pitting.

The top appears in good condition with proper fit, clear windows, and no signs of cracks or rips.

The black interior appears to be largely complete, though the dash has been extensively modified with the addition of accessory gauges, an array of pushbuttons, and the installation of an alarm. An extra dash, gauges, and heater control knobs will be included in the sale.

Carpets and seat upholstery are present but worn. Ribbed seating material appears unripped and the driver’s seat bolster material is loose.

The 1296cc inline-four retains its single Zenith Stromberg carburetor and is paired with a 4-speed manual gearbox. Following his purchase, the seller installed the following new components:

Radiator

Thermostat

Fuel pump

Battery

Voltage regulator and generator

Master cylinder

Clutch master and slave cylinders

Wheel cylinders

Brake pads, rotors, and hoses (front)

Brake shoes and drums (rear)

Engine mount

While the car runs and drives, the seller notes the car has not covered a great distance following the mechanical refresh and some further sorting is required to make it fully roadworthy.

A thick layer of black undercoating covers the underside, and rust is noted on parts of the floorboards and mechanical components. The seller has provided three videos of the car running and driving.
