MKIII Spitfire, it’s stop you in your tracks and stare stunning looking car, lift off hardtop, full tonneau, current long MOT, it’s on the button and it’s a real head tuner, ready to drive away today. We have two YouTube videos of this great car to show you, please ask for the links, a full walk round and underside tour, plus a driving being driven demo.
Same wealthy owner for the last 13 years, the car is known to have raced back in the 80’s, it’s had huge investment over the decades and is in incredibly solid condition throughout, the car has just passed its MOT with no advisories, despite being MOT exempt it’s been done anyway and the tax is free, it starts runs and drives as intended with everything working correctly all the lights, indicators, wipers, horn, washers and it sounds awesome if you hit the go pedal hard, watch the video.
Under the lightweight fiberglass bonnet the car is fitted with a lightly tuned engine for which there are multiple invoices in the history file, several from famed Triumph racing company “Jigsaw” and others for high performance cam shafts and rebuilds, it’s coupled to a 4 speed gearbox with a working column shift overdrive.
It has just had a pair of fully reconditioned SU carbs fitted, rebuilt by Turner Carbs of Grantham, there is a bespoke ally engine breather oil catch can fitted, adjustable front shocks, as new front brake callipers and discs, a fire suppression system with nozzles in the engine bay and drivers footwell from an extinguisher in the passenger footwell (it can be unclipped and removed easily) it can be operated from the cockpit or externally from the bulkhead, along with an electrical isolator switch, the wind down side windows are lightweight Perspex, three point harness’s on both seats, rear solid red racing lamp for track days, full roll cage (with historic scrutineering stickers), braided hoses, fuel cut off swich, elec cooling fan, race type “click” fuel filler cap and probably lots more modifications we have missed, it has not wanted for anything or lacked investment.
The car is rock solid throughout, see the video which shows the underside and inside the boot. The paintwork is generally very good all round with minor imperfections on close inspection, whichever angle you view it this car has the wow factor. Running a set of really good Minilite style alloys with excellent tyres all round. Comes with a purpose built full tonneau cover that can be fully closed, drivers side open or fully open, no other hood or weather gear supplied, plus it now has a brand new lightweight lift off hardtop that makes the car look even better.
We have the full current and a previous logbook, the car is HPI clear with all the correct and original identification plates and is showing just 27k miles, we cannot confirm these low miles. The car currently shows as colour red on the current and previous logbook, the blue paint is aged and been on for many years and we suspect the current long term only never updated the details after a paint job, we will update them correctly when we change it into the lucky new owners name, there are masses of receipts and invoices but they do not form a full history of the car.
Nothing hidden, nothing to hide, comprehensively, described, pictured and videoed, any inspection of any kind welcome.
A truly stunning Spitfire, it’s on a “Steve McQueen” level of coolness, it will be admired and heavily discussed wherever you take it.
