1971 Triumph Spitfire MK4, 1500 with Overdrive.
I bought this Triumph Spitfire in 2020 and have spent a considerable amount of money on various new parts since owning her. I have only ever driven her when its been dry and she has been garaged under my ownership. This car would benefit from someone who wants to take her to next level - her body and paintwork needs attention but mechanically she is in very good order and is a joy to drive. She is 53 years old and with any classic car, will need regular maintenance, love, care and attention to keep them on the road.
Interior:
New heritage door cards supplied from Park Lane Classics
New heritage rear centre panel supplied from Park Lane Classics
Retrimmed armrest, tunnel cover and dash pad
New gloveboxes
Re-veneered dash in santos rosewood
New carpet set
New Securon inertia reel seat belts
The drivers seat has a tear in it (see photos) and both seats could do with new foam and reupholstering.
Exterior:
New soft top supplied from Don Trimming
New number plates
Under my ownership I have not touched the body or paintwork. The car will need work to the bodywork and would benefit from a respray.

The fuel tank was removed and POR15 kit was used to clean and reseal/ reline the inside of the fuel tank. 2 filters were installed (1 in the boot and 1 before the fuel pump). New Automec fuel lines have been fitted and I have also installed a HUCO electric fuel pump mounted on the bulkhead which has a fuel inertia cutoff switch wired in for safety.
Oil and filter change completed on 24/ 03/ 2024.
